Excuses Begone! How to Change Lifelong, Self-Defeating Thinking Habits by Wayne W. Dyer

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


What better time to listen to an audio book titled Excuses Begone! How to change Lifelong, Self-Defeating Thinking Habits than in early January for it just might help me keep my resolutions. When I was worked on the resolution to put the wish list of library materials into my to-read shelf at goodreads.com, I requested it from the library.

One thing I do not like about Dyer's books is his use of quotations from many men of wisdom to prove his point. This does not provide substance to his analysis; it adds an opinion,however wise that opinion is.

There are 18 basic excuses we humans have used until we start to believe the excuses are human nature. Dyer suggests 7 questions to answer that will help invalidate the excuse. The awareness of an invalid excuse provides an opening for a new behavior that can become a better habit.

If your resolutions have already begun to falter, read or listen to this book for some encouragement that change is possible when excuses are gone.
