INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER, WITH OVER 3 MILLION COPIES SOLD
From the #1 bestselling author of Your Erroneous Zones, a directed and practical book that shows you how to stop being manipulated by others and start taking charge of your own life.
Wayne Dyer reveals how we all can prevent ourselves from being victimized by others and begin to operate from a position of power at the center of our own lives. Asserting that we alone are responsible for how much we will be controlled by others, Dyer offers his practical plan for developing new attitudes toward the most common sources of victimization and manipulation, such as family members and authority figures in the workplace.
For example, families can be tremendously coercive and demanding, but they can also be an immensely rewarding part of your life. Dyer shows how to cope with the negative side and contribute to the positive. In their working life, many people stay in unfulfilling jobs because they feel constrained by their present experience or because they fear change. Dyer shows that by being enthusiastic and flexible, you can find the work to be happy. Life, Dyer says, is a beautiful thing as long as you hold the strings. Pulling Your Own Strings will give you the dynamic strategies and tools to master your own fate.

"This book has opened my mind to new ideas which is what reading is about - yes? The book was insightful and gave me areas for improvement. I don't, however, know that I would want to be the person indirectly personified in this book, yet, I do want to pull my own strings. And I can. "

— Lisa, 6/20/2013" I read this when I was 16 in order to try and find answers to the bullying that seemed to follow me everywhere. I learned it wasn't me. This book was the best thing I read, and is still practical to this day as a way of explaining bullying and how to handle it. "
