Wayne Dyer on the Value of Hard Lessons


by Linda Sechrist A


fter four decades teaching self- development


and empowerment and authoring more than 30 bestselling books, Wayne W. Dyer, Ph.D., shares dozens of events from his life in his latest work, I Can See Clearly Now. In unflinching detail, he relates vivid impressions of encoun- tering many forks in the road, from his youth in Detroit to the pres- ent day, and reflects on these events from his current perspective, noting what lessons he ultimately learned.


What has writing this book taught you and how can it


help others better understand their own lives?


My biggest lesson was that our whole life is like a checkerboard. When I looked back on my life, I began to realize this and gained an awareness of the fact that there’s some- thing else moving all of the pieces around.

You describe the influential patterns and motivators in your life as diamonds and stones; how would you characterize your childhood years in foster homes? I can now see that spending the better part of my first decade in a series of fos- ter homes was all a part of God’s infalli- ble plan for me.
