Author Wayne Dyer offers wisdom taught by the world's "great teachers" (such as Buddha, Jesus, Confucius, Michelangelo, and Emily Dickinson) and then provides an easy-to-digest interpretation for modern readers. The book is formatted into daily, quoted passages (around a page in length) from 60 of these teachers--the "60 Days to Enlightenment" in the book's title. After each quote, Dyer offers his own thoughts on how the "lesson" can be applied to contemporary life. After his essay, the author includes a list of exercises to put the teacher's advice to use. Each passage includes a heading--"Soulcenter" for a quote from Herman Melville's Moby Dick, or "Communication" for William Blake's poem "A Poison Tree," for example. While his tone is always reverent, Dyer's interpretations occasionally sound flat and obvious--as if he is dumbing down the language for his audience, rather than elevating readers to a higher consciousness (or at least a higher education). This is a shame, because when Dyer writes with the eloquent and enthusiastic voice that earned him his huge popularity--glimpses of that voice do appear in this book--one sees why so many consider him a "master teacher" in his own right. --Gail Hudson Product Description: Bestselling author Wayne W. Dyer has crafted a powerful collection of writings, poems, and sayings by some of the greatest thinkers of the past twentyfive centuries. In succinct original essays, Dyer sets out to explain the meaning and context of each piece of wisdom, and, most important, how we can actively apply these teachings to our modern lives. A beautiful and thoughtful gift, this book shows us a window to wisdom and a door to greatness. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Wisdom of Ages ReviewThis book is very helpful and provides tremendous insight and advice for life in general. Rating: - Day to day wisdomWayne Dyer cleverly takes 60 philosophical and poetic gems, explains the significance of each and discusses ways to apply to everyday situations. Each gem is discussed in 4-6 pages, making this daily reading experience easy to work into the busiest of schedules. A nice sample of various thoughts that may inspire further readings. Regardless, a thought provoking book. Rating:  - Messages from the MastersWisdom of the Ages is another great read from Wayne Dyer! The author picks 60 well-known wise historical figures, presents a poem or excerpt from their work, briefly describes their major accomplishments, interprets their message, character, trait, or contribution in 3 or 4 pages, and then shows us how we can apply those gifts and messages in our lives. I enjoy all of Wayne's books, but this is his best to date. I usually take my time and savor his books, but this time ...

Rating: - My favorite book thus farThis past year is when I finally started my self-help book kick and happened to come across this gem... I cannot begin to say how incredible this book is. I became so engrossed in the book that at times I found it extremely hard to put it down and take it one day at a time like the title suggests. I love the way that Dr. Dyer interprets what many great minds wrote in this "greatest hits" of the greatest minds and truly believe that all readers will feel this same way. This book is a must have ... Read More
