It's common, from childhood to early adulthood, to be almost completely controlled by the ego. As we grow older, we abandon empty ambition to seek the true meaning of work, material possessions, and relationships of love and friendship. However, traveling this path can be painful, and many may even choose not to take it, as today's society places an exaggerated importance on ambition. In light of these events, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer brings us *The Shift*, which demonstrates how and why we must embark on the journey that will transform ambition into meaning. This path eliminates our feelings of loneliness, clarifies the spiritual connection we have with our origins, and, as we leave our youthful years behind, we may find unpredictable rewards that accompany this new direction. Making this shift doesn't mean we lose our initiative; it simply means we'll be driven by something new, basing our existence on an honest and true purpose rather than the perennial demands and false promises that are the hallmarks of the ego. Wayne W. Dyer, a psychology doctor from Wayne State University and a personal development specialist, is internationally recognized for his lectures, television appearances, and dozens of published books, including the bestsellers Sacred Self, Weaknesses, Believing Is Seeing, and Insights for a Better Life.
