The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

This product was recommended by Clare Jones from Custom Neon

In his book Wayne Dyer discusses the importance of setting intentions in all areas of our lives. He emphasizes that intention is not goal-setting, but rather a powerful way of channeling our energies and focus. When we set an intention, we align ourselves with our highest purpose. In a world where we are often pulled in many different directions, it can be difficult to stay focused on what is most important. By setting an intention for our work, and personal lives we can keep our attention on our goals and maintain our sense of purpose. Additionally, when we are clear about our intentions, we are more likely to attract people and circumstances that will help us to achieve them. As we move forward in our careers, the power of intention can be a powerful ally in helping us to create the life and work we desire.

By building good habits rather than fighting bad ones, we can achieve unprecedented success in our personal and professional lives. The book has already had a profound impact on my own life, and I believe it has the potential to change the way we think about habit formation. If you’re looking for a practical guide to creating lasting change, Atomic Habits is an essential read.
