I have a confession to make about a Christmas gift my son was given two years ago — I stole it from him. Yep, I liked it so much that it sits by my bedside and I use it often.
“Incredible You!“ by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer (with Kristina Tracy) is an excellent book that all adults need to have. It’s a children’s book like most others, complete with playful illustrations and lyrical prose, but it’s the content that is so touching and meaningful. It’s based on Dyer’s “10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace.” I assume that this adult-version of the book goes into thorough detail over each of the 10 ways he outlines in the children’s book, but so many people don’t have the time to read a long book. I’ve found this children’s book the perfect dose of reality I need to stay focused on what’s important.
Each page contains valuable insight into what we need to be reminded of each and every day. Things like:
- Find What You Love
- Picture What You Want
- Change Your Thoughts To Good
- Take Care of Yourself
While it’s an incredible gift to teach these traits to your children, I argue that most adults still need these lessons as well. If we don’t know and live by these codes of life, how can we teach them to our children?
Admittedly, I did read this to my son several times before I decided to keep it by my bed, but now he’s shown interest in it again. And, while I’ve returned the book to its rightful owner, we have an agreement to share the book and read it often — together.
Whether you are reading this book for yourself or to your child every day, you’ll never tire of its lessons.
