Wayne Dyer, Ph.D., (born 1940) is a popular American psychologist and self-help guru who attained popularity as the author of Your Erroneous Zones and Pulling Your Own Strings. He is frequently featured on U.S. public television (PBS). Wayne Dyer was born in Detroit, Michigan on May 10th 1940. After his family was abandoned by an alcoholic father, Dyer's early life was spent living in foster homes and orphanages where he had to learn to be self reliant and actively seek wisdom from other sources. This somewhat troubled upbringing influenced Dyer's choices later in life. As a young man he joined the Navy and served for four years, then upon leaving he started studying at Wayne State University, Detroit at the age of 22. Dyer is one of the most widely known and respected people in the field of self-empowerment. He became a well-known author with his bestselling book Your Erroneous Zones, and has gone on to write many other self-help classics, including Meditations for Manifesting, Staying on the Path, Your Sacred Self, Everyday Wisdom, and You’ll See It When You Believe It. Dyer's most recent book is The Power of Intention, which proposes that your thoughts bring about the circumstances you have in your life. The Power of Intention also forms the theme of his most-recent PBS presentation.
