Me he leído el libro en dos días. Hace recapacitar. Mirar dentro de uno mismo. Y da ideas. Quizás cosas obvias pero que nunca nos paramos a pensarlas.

Me ha gustado. Seguro que he leído cosas que me servirán.

Lo recomiendo. (

I attended a full day seminar given by Wayne Dyer. This is a worthwhile self-help book. This is the second time I read Your Erroneous Zones...time for a refresher. (

My dad told me to read this book. He hates self-help books so I was of course intrigued. Even though I'm only halfway through I cannot stress enough how powerful this book is. Ironically, one of my favorite quotes of all time came from this book regarding a syllabus in college about participating in class "The worst thing that could happen to you if you participate is you could die" (

This book was a hot topic when it hit the shelves in the mid ‘70s. I remember some people saying it was no big deal, the ideas in it were just common sense but for a number of us it was revolutionary. Looking back now I realize those reactions were gender based. Approval seeking, guilt, and dependence, which are covered in the book, were a big part of the traditional social roles for women then but not so much for the men who thought the book just stated the obvious.
Now on rereading it, I’m seeing it clearly addressed gender role issues. For example, the chapter ‘Declare Your Independence’ focused on submission in relationships, such as the traditional marriage role for women, and on ways to change those dynamics. But it bothers me that it did not take into account the risk of domestic violence. That and a few other instances made the book feel a little glib and superficial, and, let’s face it, dated. On the plus side, it had some good approaches for procrastinators like me and a sage reminder that anger gets in the way, it is good for nothing. (

Book description

In dit boek zet dr. W. Dyer uiteen, hoe elk mens zijn mentale 'achilleshielen' heeft, bewust of onbewust; hij vertelt in algemeen begrijpelijke taal hoe hij deze zwakheden - waardoor de mens zichzelf ernstig te kort doet en vaak ongemerkt kwelt - op kan sporen en hoe hij in het dagelijks leven de kracht en inspiratie kan vinden waar zijn 'kwetsbare plekken' hem altijd van afgehouden hebben.
Dr. Dyer, psychotherapeut en docent aan de St. John's-universiteit in New York, gaat uit van de jongste psychologische visies op mens en wereld, en van de ervaringen uit de praktijk zoals die de laatste jaren massaal toegankelijk zijn geworden door de brede stroom van psychotherapeutische literatuur.
Maar zijn taal is niet die van de geleerde. Schijnbaar moeiteloos maakt hij de vele verworvenheden van de moderne psychotherapie toegankelijk voor iedere lezer, die niet ten volle tevreden is over zijn bestaan en naar een uitweg of een oplossing zoekt.
Dat dr. Dyer in zijn opzet is geslaagd, blijkt wel uit het ongekende succes van zijn boek in de Verenigde Staten. Ook in ons land zal Niet morgen, maar nu zijn weg vinden in die kringen, waar Ik ben o.k., jij bent o.k. en Wie is van hout zo enthousiast zijn ontvangen.
