erena Dyer had a unique childhood being raised by spiritually-progressive parents, including her bestselling celebrity dad, Wayne Dyer, Ph.D., who would write her notes on personal stationery printed with the motto, “Be realistic.

She wrote the book after dropping out of law school, a big step toward her dream of inspiring others to live authentically.
