Rating:  - * Excellent CD set ... This 8 CD set is one of the best self help series I've heard. It really helps to put life in perspective and manage emotions in a positive way. I've listened to it at least 3 times through, while driving to and from work. I get something new out of it each time. Rating: - * Life Changing ... I have always loved Dr.Wayne Dyer but this book is so telling and helpful.I love what i am learning just when i think there isn't much left this book comes along to guide me.I love it. Rating: - * Worth exploring ... Right on time, Wayne! This is the book I read so slowly, without rush be- cause I regard its content as having lifetimes of value and use. I've bought three copies! Rating: - * Stop the Chase and Become a Witness ... ... Dr. Wayne Dyer reminds readers that they spend much of their lives chasing after things, people, places, and circumstances... because we feel that by finally acquring what we "desire", we will be happy... He shows us how the truth is that it never happens that way. Instead we get tired of all the chasing and get worn out :-) .. Dr. Wayne Dyer reminds us that our true nature is that of the "witness"... If only we can stop all the thinking momentarily and simply step out of our lives and watch our lives, our emotions, our thoughts, and feelings... just witness them without getting involved... then we can see how we are driven by them and how our lives are shaped by our own thoughts and people around us. We finally see how our own thoughts about a situation, a person, a thing, are responsible for our lack of inner Peace. He does not teach us to blame ourselves because blame is not conducive to helping oneself, to growing, and progressing.. rather Dr. Wayne Dyer lovingly brings to our attention how thoughts themselves and people around us have so much control and power over us... Is that the kind of life we want to live? How about if we take responsiblity for our own thoughts, and thereby our own lives, and take back the power from others who control our lives? Imagine the freedom, the peace, and well being in that living.. Live it and experience it.. this is what Dr. Wayne Dyer successfully shows. We become a product of all of our thoughts and ambitions. Dr. Wayne Dyer teaches us to take control of our own lives by becoming a silent witness strong and rich with understanding within! He teaches readers how not to give the rein of our lives to circumstances, people, desires, problems, etc.. Let not things and thoughts have control over your inner peace and stability... Instead connect with the "Tao" (God resident in each our hearts) and depend on Him alone for guidance and strength to lead a life of self control and above all, inner PEACE... Rating: - * CJJ ... Very refreshen to listen too. Lot's of valuable information to use spiritually, healthwise, and financially. |
The real joy of the set, however, is nine NBA playoff games presented as they were originally broadcast and almost in their entirety. They last about 90-100 minutes with TV introductions and post-game interviews, but minus halftime, commercials, and some slower moments. The games include such absolute classics as the game in which rookie Magic Johnson started at center in place of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and the 1987 "baby hook" game against the Boston Celtics. If you're used to watching current NBA games you might be tempted to just skip to the end, but it's surprisingly rewarding to watch the game develop, to watch the game's superstars strut their stuff (or see a couple of 1972 reserves named Phil Jackson and Pat Riley), and to observe how radically the sport has changed over the years. Variable picture quality and technical glitches are unavoidable (even the 2002 game looks washed out), but this is the first time complete or nearly complete NBA games have been available in the home-video era, and they probably still look better than the VHS tapes you've been saving over the years. Yes, it'd be easy to argue about which games from the Lakers' long history should have been included, and the highlight videos don't have a ton of replay value, but the NBA Dynasty series is a major milestone in archived sports. --David Horiuchi
