3. Oh, no. No.

He was truly a warm soul, an ascended spirit. My shelves are full of his books. What a great loss. This one is making me cry.

11. I have a few of his books, too, including his interpretations of the Tao.

I'll have to get it out again and read more (never did finish reading it.) He had such a good way with words, a natural teacher.

Pass gently, Wayne.

5. What a productive and beneficial life!

Ended in the most peaceful way.

Thanks for all that you gave Dr Dyer.

6. This touches my heart.

Wayne Dyer has contributed greatly to my life. I have many of his books and tapes from when I really needed them to help me with my spiritual growth through the years. This will be a great loss to many, one of them his close friend and collaborator Deepak Choprah.

RIP Dr. Dyer

7. When it's time for me to join my maker,

that's the way I want to go, peacefully, in my sleep.

Cross gently Dr. Dyer.

9. IThe article has been updated. He had leukemia.

The specials he had during fund drives on PBS helped them raise $250 Million. Quite a legacy.

12. godspeed, Dr. Dyer

I still have Your Erroneous Zones, Pulling Your Own Strings, and some of your other books on my bookshelf. Your PBS specials are one of the few tv programs I miss...

14. I used to catch him now and again on hayradio when I was having a stressful day at work.

At first I wasn't so sure about him but he grew on me. He really touched and helped a lot of people.

15. I was never a fan, but I know a lot of people who are

his belief in a "creator" was always a turnoff, as was his whole philosophy that happiness is a choice (using positivity to buck clinical depression). I've never seen that actually work for anyone for more than a very brief stretch of time, including among his many fans that I know personally, but they keep trying. He was the perfect all American self help guru; pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, if you can dream it, you can do it, the only thing stopping you is you, you are 100% the cause of any suffering or unhappiness you experience, etc. etc. It's no surprise that he was as beloved as he is in the U.S.A., and probably always will be.

16. Neither was I but I know someone who will be devastated by this news--way too young to go, IMO. nt

18. He lost me when he started the spiritual stuff

I liked "Your Erroneous Zones" and "Pulling Your Own Strings", but when he went down the spiritual road he lost me.

17. I'm a huge fan

so this is a great loss for me, it seems it gave a seminar just a few days ago and had more on his schedule. His legacy is astounding with all the lives he has touched through his books, CDs, PBS specials, radio, and seminars.
At least his passing was peaceful.
