The Power of Intention

Wayne Dyer

About the Author

Wayne Dyer (1940–2015) was a renowned self-help author, motivational speaker, and spiritual teacher. Often called the "father of motivation," he wrote numerous bestsellers on personal development, spirituality, and self-empowerment. His work emphasizes the power of thoughts, energy, and universal consciousness in shaping one's life.

About the Book

"The Power of Intention" explores the concept of intention as a universal force that influences every aspect of life. Dyer expresses that intention is not just a goal or desire but a field of energy to align with to manifest abundance, happiness, and purpose. Through practical insights and spiritual wisdom, he teaches how to tap into the power of intention to create a life of fulfillment and joy.

Summary

Dyer's "The Power of Intention" is a spiritual and practical guide to aligning with the energy of intention and attracting success, peace, and happiness. Readers learn:

1. Intention Is a Universal Force: Intention is not just something we do; it's an energy field that exists in the universe. It operates through high vibrational frequencies like kindness, love, and gratitude. You can attract success, love, and well-being by aligning with this energy.

2. The Seven Faces of Intention: Dyer outlines seven key aspects of intention to help you connect with its power:

Creativity: Tap into your unbounded creative potential.

Kindness: Acts of kindness align you with positive energy.

Love: Love is the highest vibrational energy, essential for manifesting desires.

Beauty: Recognizing beauty in everything enhances the connection to intention.

Expansion: Growth and learning are part of an intentional life.

Abundance: The universe is limitless; scarcity is a false belief.

Receptivity: Stay open to opportunities and divine guidance.

3. Alignment with the Energy of Intention: Your thoughts and emotions create the energy that attracts your experiences. Positive thoughts, affirmations, and visualizations align you with intention. Gratitude and mindfulness raise your vibration to match that of intention.

4. Overcoming Ego and Fear: The ego focuses on competition, scarcity, and external validation. To connect with intention, let go of fear, self-doubt, and the need for control. Shift from an ego-driven to a spirit-driven life based on trust and surrender.

5. The Power of Visualization and Belief: Imagine yourself already living your desired life. Believe that what you seek is already on its way. Faith, rather than doubt, accelerates the manifestation process.

6. Vibrational Energy: Low energy (anger, resentment, fear) blocks the flow of intention. High energy (love, joy, gratitude) attracts abundance and success effortlessly. Daily practices like meditation, positive affirmations, and acts of kindness elevate your energy.

7. Service to Others and Living with Purpose: True fulfillment comes from contributing to the well-being of others. Aligning with intention means helping others achieve happiness and success. When you give, you receive in abundance.

"The Power of Intention" is a transformational guide to creating a life of joy, abundance, and spiritual alignment.

Reader Reviews

I bought this book after seeing Dr. Dyer's boost for public broadcasting. I woke up one Sunday morning, put on the TV, and there he was trying to raise money for those airwaves. I've always been a big fan of NPR and public TV, so I gave it a chance and listened for 15 minutes or so. I was amazed at how much sense he made. When I got the book, I was not disappointed. It is so "commonsensical" that I was almost shaking my head, saying to myself, "I already knew that" when I was finished. The book was almost like the slap I needed to remind myself. He taps into all of our souls...all of our innate knowledge. It is a very good book and one that will benefit those who have become "disconnected" as well as those who may have just forgotten what we already know deep inside us, and those who already "remember". I read it in a week only because I was busy at work, otherwise I think I would have devoured it in 2-3 days. It is a welcome addition to my home and heart, and its lessons won't soon be forgotten. I've already shared it with many friends, as I feel that it is one of those "life lessons" manuals--everyone should read it.

This book is truly amazing in that it provides the reader with a way to change their life, showing how we can co-create with God the type of life we really want to live. It shows how we all tend to "accidentally" create those things in our lives that we actually want to avoid - by constantly dwelling on the negative in our lives, we are actually attracting more negative events to us. This book is about changing the way we think - and by changing our thoughts, we begin to change our lives along the way.

Dr. Dyer does a great job of outlining the steps necessary to change the thought processes that are currently hindering our ability to live the life we want.

Although I would categorize this book as "spiritual" in nature, I believe that it can be of help to EVERYONE - whether you are interested in spirituality &/or religion or not.

This is one of those books that can truly help anyone to change their life, as long as one is willing to put in the effort involved in changing their thought processes. It shows how our INTENTIONS impact every facet of our lives - and that, by changing our INTENTIONS, we can literally transform our lives!

This has to be one of the best self-help books I have ever read. I love the messaging so much that I not only have a paperback copy of the book, but I also have downloaded it to my phone and listen to it while I run. I have listened to this book no less than 10 times. Whenever I am feeling down or hopeless, I pick up the book or queue it up on my phone to listen. It is so inspirational and definitely redirects my mood. The exercises in the book have helped me to reframe my thinking and focus on what matters. I have read several of Dr. Dyers' books, and this is by far my favorite. There are many books written with this type of ideology, but this is by far the best, easiest to read, and most believable. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to reframe their thinking and co-create their life.

Typical of Wayne Dyer - his new book on Intention is both elegant and eloquent - yet practical and easy to apply. It is the ultimate "owner's manual" on how to be a co-creator with the field of Intention. Solomon once said that there's nothing new under the sun - and it would be easy to think that all this has been said before. Maybe, in some ways, that's true. But it's never been said this way, or in this context, or presented in such a beautiful package. I am a long-time fan of all things written or produced by Wayne Dyer and might have missed this one - thinking my bookshelves are already filled with his writings. I'm so happy that I trusted my intuition! I will be gifting this to family and friends for a long time to come. I love this book. Thank you, Wayne Dyer!

Actually, this might be a weird thing to comment on this book, but coming from a Christian viewpoint, our 'Source' is God, and as I read this book, I felt like I understood how God can work in our lives if we truly see ourselves as 'spiritual beings having a temporary human experience' rather than the other way around. God has an intention for our lives, and if we follow his paths, we will find ourselves living a truly fulfilling life. Looking at our 'Source' (God) as having abundance and everything we need, helped me to see that my everyday worries were just a waste of my time and effort. As long as I stay plugged into God, I will get to exactly where I need to be going. Very positive and focused book.

All my life, I've always read the last chapter first in every book I've ever read. So when Dr. Dyer said that very thing in the preface, I knew this book was going to change my life. Applying these techniques to my everyday life has been a game-changer. No need to get in the normal day trappings of life because now I raise my vibrations to rise above it. I have bought this book three more times in hopes of changing other mindsets as well. If you want a book to change how you look at things and live a more positive life.....this is the book!!!

I first saw Wayne Dyer on TV when I was moving out of an apartment I had lived in for seven years. I was so sad to be leaving and frustrated at having to pack boxes, and his peaceful presence came on the TV and made me feel 'lighter' about what I was doing. I truly believe he is a spiritually enlightened being, and this is his greatest work in print. Some people respond better to hearing him on tape (or on TV). If you are going to buy only one WD book, this is the one to get. Beautiful illustrations to help keep you in the mode of 'inspiration,' 'In-Spirit.'

I write this review as I reach page 84. This book is blowing me away. When I first started with it, I thought that it was about setting the right intentions in life for one's actions and how "the universe" will give you back accordingly, much like the law of attraction. Although this is partly true, the book uses the term "the power of intention" to refer to God. The book is really about the fact that in life you have a willpower to choose to believe in One God or not (the book doesn't explicitly says that, but you'll read it between the lines), and once you made that choice, you should hand all of your life to God and rely on Him to set the course of your life (tawakkol). This is where true happiness is. It also discusses the ego, how to let go of it, and how it hinders the connection with God. At the end of each chapter, the book offers practical tips to apply its concepts. This book is a treasure.
