Wayne Dyer trained as a psychotherapist, but is best known for his numerous self-help books that have sold like hot cakes. He also gave many lectures and seminars on psychology and motivation.

Dyer had the biggest hit in 1976 with Your Erroneous Zones,

which appeared in Dutch translation under the titleNot tomorrow but now.

The Detroit native positivist wrote more than 40 self-help books with titles such asIt's in your own hands, No sea too high, My soul my salvation, The language of the heart, I float through lifeandLessons in the art of living.

Wayne passed away unexpectedly on August 30, 2015 at the age of 75.
