About this ebook
#1 New York Times Bestseller!
Toss Out Those Tired Old Excuses . . . Once and for All!
In Excuses Begone! Dr. Wayne W. Dyer reveals how to change lifelong, self-defeating thinking patterns that prevent you from living at the highest levels of success, happiness, and health. You may know what to think but find it terribly difficult to change thinking habits that have been with you since childhood. This business of changing habituated thinking patterns is really the business of eliminating the same old tired excuses.
People are forever using excuses and defending those excuse patterns as if they were actually true. Such statements as
· It would be very difficult for me to change . . .
· If I changed, it would create family dramas . . .
· I’m too old or too young to change . . .
· I’ve always been this way . . .
· It’s in my DNA so I can’t change . . .
· I can’t afford the things I truly want and I’ve always been this way
. . . are all excuses that are used regularly without challenging the truth of these thinking habits.
When you eliminate excuses that explain your shortcomings or failures, you’ll awaken to your infinite possibilities. Removing the excuses involves examining these thinking habits under a new and truthful light.
In this groundbreaking work, Wayne presents a compendium of conscious and subconscious excuses employed by virtually everyone, along with a new paradigm that guides you to put those excuses to rest once and for all. You’ll learn to apply specific questions to any excuse, and then proceed through the steps of the Excuses Begone! paradigm. The old habituated ways of thinking will melt away as you experience the joy of releasing excuses and the absurdity of hanging on to them. There are no excuses worth defending ever, even if they’ve always been part of your life.
This book represents Wayne’s effort to help anyone whose self-defeating thoughts are persistently present, learn how to discard those old thinking habits, and discover the infinite possibilities of life!

I have read most of his books. There is not one that has not made me stop to think about the way I am. Through his books and David R Hawkins' books, I have started being more aware.

I have been in deep depression for some time, I started reading this e-book and it has really opened my eyes to what I have been allowing in my life as excuses and what other people believe of me to make that who I am today, I am not finished with the book but read it for 4 straight hours yesterday and I had a smile on my face! It is so deep yet understandable. I am so thankful I bought this book, I can hardly stay away from my Ipad, my husband wants to read it as well but he has to take it from me lol
