About this audiobook

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER, WITH OVER 3 MILLION COPIES SOLD

From the #1 bestselling author of Your Erroneous Zones, a directed and practical book that shows you how to stop being manipulated by others and start taking charge of your own life.

Wayne Dyer reveals how we all can prevent ourselves from being victimized by others and begin to operate from a position of power at the center of our own lives. Asserting that we alone are responsible for how much we will be controlled by others, Dyer offers his practical plan for developing new attitudes toward the most common sources of victimization and manipulation, such as family members and authority figures in the workplace.

For example, families can be tremendously coercive and demanding, but they can also be an immensely rewarding part of your life. Dyer shows how to cope with the negative side and contribute to the positive. In their working life, many people stay in unfulfilling jobs because they feel constrained by their present experience or because they fear change. Dyer shows that by being enthusiastic and flexible, you can find the work to be happy. Life, Dyer says, is a beautiful thing as long as you hold the strings. Pulling Your Own Strings will give you the dynamic strategies and tools to master your own fate.

Ratings and reviews

If you or can't say no or codependent this is the book for you. A number of years ago I read this book for the first time. It is an easy read, however if you apply the principles that the author had intended You Will Open Doors and fly possibly close a few. The bottom line is don't keep toxic people in your life.

I read the book back in the late 70's while in high school and it changed my life for the better. Thinking about listening to it again just as a refresher.

Great info!
