Product Description
There’s a voice in the universe calling each of us to remember our purpose—our reason for being here now, in this world of impermanence. The voice whispers, shouts, and sings to us that this experience of being in form, in space and time, knowing life and death, has meaning. The voice is that of inspiration, which is within each and every one of us.
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer explains how we’ve chosen to enter this world of particles and form. From our place of origin, in ways that we don’t readily comprehend now, we knew what we were coming here to accomplish, and we participated in setting this life process in motion. So why not think this same way? Why put the responsibility or blame on any one or any thing that’s not a part of us? On Earth we have the capacity of volition—we can choose—so let’s assume that we had the same capacity when we resided in the spiritual realm. We chose our physical body, and we chose the parents we needed for the trip. It doesn’t seem too great a stretch to move into the idea that we chose this life in concert with our Source.
Each chapter in this book is filled with specifics for living an inspired life. From a very personal viewpoint, Wayne Dyer offers a blueprint through the world of spirit to inspiration, your ultimate calling.

Inspirational, but is it practical? 
by .. Kevin Harville (Sacramento, CA USA)
Dr. Dyer definitely gives positive life-changing advice. But he may go to an extreme that could have negative effects. For instance he tells of picking up hitchikers regularly. It seems some practicality is in order and we were created not just with a heart for inspiration but with a mind to balance that inspiration as well.
Yet this book reminds us of some key points. It tells how we are all just a part of the universe and how ego falsely tells us we are only individuals. This leads to more cooperation instead of competition. But is cooperation always best? Is it always best to turn the other cheek? Or do we need to ensure people are not rewarded for doing the wrong thing? When is turning the other cheek living in harmony, and when is it just giving up? Should we work for our individual interests even when it causes conflict with others individual interests? Are we always to be the giver? Where is the balance?
And is every coincidence a message as Dyer indicates? Rather I think that mathematically we are going to have coincidences happen all day because there are millions of one-in-a-million chances every day. Yet his story of the Monarch butterfly certainly seems beyond coincidence. (It seemed better told in the video on PBS.)
One key piece of advice he gives is that focusing on goals keeps us from living in the present. We can have goals but Now is all we truly have. You will find the same advice in business books such as the Carnegie classic How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. You will find the same advice in psychology. You can either have a goal to live as you wish to or simply live today as you wish to. Dyer encourages us to live.
Books such as this remind me I can want something but it may or may not happen, and that is OK. It may even happen in a way I totally do not expect. No matter what we do the best we can do is follow our inspiration and let life unfold.
The peacefulness that Dyer teaches could add years to your life by relieving stress. For that reason alone you should read the book. It is also concise in that it seems to cover his main teachings. I liked it much better than The Power of Intention.
My favorite Motivational author is Anthony Robbins. I avoided Robbins like the plague because of his hype. A friend had a book of his and I found it to be extremely practical in teaching constructive ways of thinking. I loved Inspiration: Your Ultimate Calling but do feel the need to balance it with more practical teachings.
Dyer points out we should follow our heart and the head should simply tell us how. I highly recommend this book. What he teaches is true: We are all from the same Source, and all we have is Now. As far as the exact implementation of these beliefs I think there is more room for practicality.
A lovely inspirational book by .. Mary Annan ()
There's a beautiful amount of inspiration, heartfelt sharing of the author's experiences and the importance of living with inspiration, rather than "goals" which may be good for some, however, living and being inspired does feel a lot better than a goal checklist, at least for me!
I'm glad I read this book, as it brought me a lot of the good things to consider, which made a difference for me.
Inspired! by .. Robin Swicegood (manassas, VA)
I read Wayne Dyer's newest one. A truly great book. I do agree with another reviewer that points out that some of what can be found in the Power of intention is also found here. But other than that, I could only say great things. And actually, there is nothing that wrong with being reminded of some important concepts.
I have thought on many occasions how interesting Wayne's perspective is. He doesn't preach. He doesn't tell you to "get saved," but he is actually writing about God. Just like in the Power Intention. It's obvious that "intention," is God. I am a Christian and I know some Christians who don't like him because he doesn't say much about Jesus Christ. In that respect, I think that Wayne Dyer is sometimes misunderstood. God is all about love, and so is Wayne Dyer. This is excellent material, and this book did "inspire" me.
Extraordinary by .. Peace Minegha (Washington, USA)
This is a book that will change many people's lives if sincerely they can follow Dr. Dyer's advises. Another great book of his, reading it was as good as hearing him in his seminars, it comforts the heart and delights the spirit. He shows us again and again how happy our lives can be by listening to the voice of INSPIRATION, while beautifully explaining "INSPIRATION". I love this book I recommend it to everyone, no wonder why it is number 1! From something simple there is a great meaning, and this is what Dr. Wayne Dyer teaches us.
Inspirational...The Book Delivered What It Promised by .. Laura Salva (California)
I loved this book and could barely put it down. I normally don't write reviews online but felt compelled to do so after reading the last few reviews. Having been a meditator and aspiring to live "in-Spirit" for the last fourteen years, I know that everything Dr. Dyer wrote is true. I experienced in my own life and witnessed in the lives of others--over and over--how the spiritual principles Dr. Dyer addressed worked to the smallest detail. If you open your mind to it, this book can change your life.
I strongly disagree with those who claimed that Dr. Dyer was coming from an egoic place. Very often, when someone speaks from an egoless state, he simply says what he sees is true if what he experienced can help others. I can tell that the words in this book came from Spirit simply because of the beauty, joy, and inspiration I experienced while reading it. These words could not have come from a place of ego.
Thank you Dr. Dyer for this beautiful work of Inspiration!
