Book Reviews of Making Your Dreams Come TrueBook Review: Maybe the best practical book on making dreams come true! Summary: 4 Stars
The whole idea of making dreams come true is a tough nut to crack. While the whole notion may conjure up a lot of doubt, this unique book does a pretty good job of solving the problem. I've had the fortune of hearing Marcia Weider speak in person and by the way, she is a dynamic speaker, I think that her book here is a pleasant surprise. Readers will enjoy her use of diagrams, charts, lists and all the things that an experienced seminar leader needs in order to illustrate such an abstract concept. While this book has probably not sold that well, I think it is a very valuable contribution to the field of personal developement. I think that success-oriented women in particular should buy this book.
Summary of Making Your Dreams Come TrueRead by the Author Three Cassettes, 5 hours
Imagine living the life you've always dreamed about?the career, the relationship, and even simply that vacation you keep putting off. In Making Your Dreams Come True, Marcia Wieder teaches you a concrete formula to overcome whatever is standing between you and your dream?mostly your own self-limiting beliefs?and to rediscover the passion that may have been hidden for years. As a dream coach and entrepreneur, Marcia Wieder knows what she's talking about. In 1993, she left her successful East Coast media business and moved to San Francisco, the city of her dreams. Six years later, with a thriving international business as a motivational speaker, she's a shining example of what is possible when you follow that inner passion. With Marcia as your personal coach, you too will learn step-by-step how to define and manifest your dreams. But according to Marcia, you must first examine your attitudes and beliefs to see whether or not they empower or impede you. Learning how to get your own beliefs on your side is just one of the specific strategies of her plan. Throughout the audiobook, Marcia also provides a wealth of helpful advice?from how to look at your life from a genuinely fresh perspective to designing an environment both physically and emotionally that will support your dream. You will also discover the "Passion Pyramid," a useful tool that reveals how passion helps you accomplish your dreams more quickly. Filled with stories of real people and practical exercises, Making Your Dreams Come True delivers on its promise: When you've finished, you will know how to make your dreams come true?any time you choose. "In all areas of my life I'm living a life I love. This book will show you how to do the same for yourself," writes author Marcia Wieder (Life Is but a Dream and Doing Less and Having More). Wieder offers a step-by-step process for making your dreams come true. The basic formula is simple, even obvious: "- Get clear about what your dream is
- Remove the obstacles, especially the limiting beliefs
- Design the simple steps to make your dreams happen
But Weider uses the formula as a starting place. She offers practical strategies and exercises to put you in charge of your dreams and making them come true. For example, she explains how your beliefs "either move you forward or hold you back, and you choose what you will believe." She includes "real people" anecdotes to show how other people let their beliefs limit them, and then how they used Weider's suggestions and strategies to change the beliefs they were "buying." You learn to face your fears, identify your limiting beliefs, and change them. The end of the book is a workbook for implementing what you've learned. Making Your Dreams Come True has that winning combination of motivation, introspection, and practical steps for achieving your goals. If your life is unsatisfying or routine, or if you have dreams you're not reaching, Weider could be your personal "dream coach." --Joan Price
