You are also responsible for how much you will be controlled by others. Now, Dr. Wayne Dyer provides his practical, step-by-step plan for developing new attitudes toward the most common sources of victimization and manipulation, including family, work, and, ultimately, yourself.

Game Changer

Loved it. Probably the most impactful book I've ever read/listened to. Don't let the length fool you, you'll get more out of this concise, yet powerful book than you would from audiobooks that are 10 hours long.

It is not the book!

This was very disappointing. This is not the book. It is Wayne talking and recapping the book.

Not the book

Disappointed that this was a lecture, and not the reading of the book. I was looking for the book reading.

Where's the rest of the book?

The book is excellent. The audible content is great. It just ends abruptly. Get the book. does a full version exist? This felt like a waste of money.

Only 2 chapters in audible

I gave this book 5 stars because I think it’s going to be really good. However, the audible version is more like an overview. It’s two chapters long, less than two hours in length. The actual book has at least 10 chapters so I was disappointed.

Exactly what I needed

Any additional comments?

Really made me realize how much I have had a victim behavior all my life up to now. We really have the power to change and make things better for ourselves. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in taking back the power in their lives to become more in control and be centered on themselves instead of what other people think. It really changed the way I see myself and the power I have to make my life what I want it to be :)

Disappointed in Audible - Only Got 2 Chapters

Only 2 chapters appeared when I purchased this book. I have a hard copy, and it has many more chapters. I really wanted to listen to it. Disappointed in Audible. What I listened to was excellent. Guess I'll read my hard copy.

Excellent & Quick Listen

This book is concise, thoughtful, and empowering. I would recommend it to anybody, even those who consider themselves non-spiritual.

Highly disappointing!!

I actually expected to learn some things about life & relationships! Instead, I only heard how Wayne Dyer just doesn't give a shit about anything!....and how he can justify why he doesn't.

He sounds like he came from the same idiotic universities that Timothy O'Leary & Dr. Spock learned their BS idiology.

When Dyer mentioned on how he liked Jimmy Carter's response to a campaign question, I knew that he was a "Closet Lib-tard"! According to him, go ahead and do anything and everything you ever wanted to do in life, and don't ever be bothered by it.

This audio book is DEFINITELY NOT WORTH BUYING!!!!

Absolute Truth!! Amazing and eyeopening!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, every single friend I have has received a copy of this book at one point or another. It is absolutely life changing!

What other book might you compare Pulling Your Own Strings to and why?

"What You Think of Me is None of My Business" is another great "freedom giving" book in this light.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes!

Any additional comments?

This book will transform your view and outlook on life and bring you a completely different and renewing filter for decision making.
