The Shift: Taking Your Life from Ambition to Meaning

Item Description

The Shift—a companion book to the movie of the same name—illustrates how and why to make the move from ambition to meaning. Such a shift eliminates our feelings of separateness, illuminates our spiritual connectedness, and involves moving from the ego-directed morning into the afternoon of life where everything is primarily influenced by purpose. As we contemplate leaving the morning of our life, where ego has played a commanding role, and entering the afternoon (and evening), where meaning and purpose replace ambition and struggle, we may encounter unexpected occurrences that accompany this new direction. It’s almost a universal law that we’ll experience a fall of some kind. Yet these falls or low points provide the energy we need to move away from ego and into a life of meaning and purpose. The Shift doesn’t mean that we lose our drive and ambition; it signifies that we become ambitious about something new. We make a commitment to living a life based on experiencing meaning and feeling purposeful, rather than never-ending demands and false promises that are the trademark of the ego’s agenda. As Dr. Wayne W. Dyer so eloquently reveals in these pages, we all have the choice to shift our lives from ambition to meaning . . . and thereby complete our return to the Source that created us.

The Shift: Taking Your Life from Ambition to Meaning 2010-07-08

Reviewer: Joseph S. Wadas

This is a great companion book to the movie with the same title. I would recommend reading the book before seeing the movie. Although the basic message is fairly simple, it is still a timely life lesson. If the lesson could be learned, life would be more meaningful. The secret to contentment and fulfillment is available to all. ~Joseph S. Wadas

Experience change in your world 2010-06-02

Reviewer: New Connexion Journal

The Shift takes place at a magical beach front retreat where people of all walks of life come to vacation, get married or just relax by the ocean and walk the beautiful trails. In the DVD, the story begins with a small camera crew meeting Dyer for an interview. As the interview unfolds we see other stories in the background -- a devoted mother of two young boys who nurtures everyone but herself, an overachieving husband who has forgotten what love means, and a movie director desperate for the opportunity to prove his worth. In Dyer's words, the second half of our life is when we find our unique purpose and want to contribute to the world. We then are able to make the shift from our ego to a more meaningful, focused life of serving the community and giving back. These believable characters show real people experiencing change.

Another Great by Wayne Dyer - He Keeps Me Moving Along the Path of Life 2010-04-23

Reviewer: G. E. Kugler

I am a Wayne Dyer fan so I buy everything he writes and this was another great book for me. I know to some he got weird but to me he has an understanding of life that makes, or would make the world a better place if we tried following it. In this work (there is also a movie which I have but haven't watched yet) he talks about the shift we can make in life from where we are today to a meaningful life. Sounds easy but it certainly isn't. It is laid out in just four chapters. The first is 'From' meaning where we came from with very logical and spiritual discussion. The second Chapter is 'Ambition' which is really interesting; then 'To' and ending with 'Meaning'. Interesting, thought provoking and well worth studying.
