Wayne Dyer

Born in 1940 in Detroit, Michigan, the youngest of three boys, Dyer
spent many of his childhood years in foster homes. After high school he
enlisted in the US Navy for four years' service, including a posting in
Guam working as a cryptographer. After college in Detroit he worked
as a teacher and acquired a Master's degree in school counseling, but
envied the fewer teaching hours of the professors who had given his
classes and so enrolled in a doctorate program in psychotherapy.
Six years of university teaching followed, including an associate
professorship at St. John's University in New York; during this time he
wrote three textbooks. Your Erroneous Zones was written after the
emotional discovery of his father's grave (related in You'll See It When
You Believe It) in Biloxi, Mississippi. Dyer spent a year on the road
promoting it before it became a bestseller.
Dyer is reputed to have sold over 50 million books, with titles
including Pulling Your Own Strings, What Do You Really Want for
Your Children?, You'll See It When You Believe It, Your Sacred Self,
Manifesting Your Destiny, Wisdom of the Ages (60 essays on the great
spiritual figures of the last 2,500 years), and most recently There Is a
Spiritual Solution to Every Problem.
Dyer maintains a busy speaking schedule and is a keen runner. He is
married with eight children and lives in Florida.
