It seems Wayne Dyer doesn't want to give Ralph Waldo Emerson credit where credit is due. It seems a bit ungenerous not to acknowledge this.I agree with an earlier reviewer that it would have been appropriate for Dyer to mention his cocaine addiction.To say you can have life the way you want it, somehow implies that if it isn't the way you want it, you are to blame. It would be more accurate to say we will all have challenges and backslides, but can overcome them would make this a more balanced book instead of merely an Emerson regurgitation.
