The Shift- Another Book by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer







After two days, in between my baking...etc, I managed to finish reading this, and hope to re-read this just to make sure I do not miss the key points inside. Very interesting, From, Ambition, To and Meaning...each part of this is well explained by Dr. Wayne Dyer.

And I like the ending part which reads like this:

The Bushman in the Kalahari Desert talk about two "hungers."
There is the great Hunger and there is the little hunger.
The little hunger wants food for the belly;
but the Great Hunger,
the greatest hunger of all, is the hunger for meaning.

There's ultimately only one thing that makes human beings deeply and profoundly bitter,
and that is to have the thrust upon them a life without meaning.....

There is nothing wrong in searching for happiness....
But of far more comfort to the soul....
is something greater than happiness or unhappiness, and that is meaning.
Because meaning transfigures all....
Once what you are doing has for you meaning,
it is irrelevant whether you're happy or unhappy.
You are content__you are not alone in your Spirit__ you belong.

(Sir Laurens van de Post From HastenSlowly, a film by Mickey Lemle).

I am looking forward to buying the next few books by Dr. Wayne Dyer...very much looking forward. But books in Malaysia seems to be very expensive nowadays, and for this one I got it at RM 57.90.
