Product Description
In this compelling film, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer explores the spiritual journey from ambition to meaning. The powerful shift from the ego constructs we are taught early in life by parents and society - which promote an emphasis on achievement and accumulation - are shown in contrast to a life of meaning, focused on serving and giving back. Through the intertwined stories of an overachieving businessman, a mother of two seeking her own expression in the world, and a director trying to make a name for himself, this entertaining film not only inspires, but also teaches us how to create a life of meaning and purpose. Additional cast members are: Michael DeLuise Portia de Rossi Ed Kerr Shannon Sturges

 Life changing! July 20, 2009
Benjamin Barrow (Spencerport, NY USA)
Everything I read, listen to, or view from Wayne Dyer has a significant impact on my life! Ambition to Meaning really made me look at why I have struggled for so long. I have always wanted to do something meaningful, but have been torn by the need to provide for my family. This really woke me up to making the shift completely to focusing on meaning.
Thanks Wayne!
Quantum Shift spoke directly to my soul May 29, 2009
Beatrice Goodwin
Loved this DVD. The message of shifting from the ambition stage of life to the desire for deeper meaning and connectedness in "adolescence" of our life was so clearly stated and expressed. It seemed as if Dr. Dyer was speaking of my life when he discussed the Quantum Shift. I've experienced this! It is indeed memorable, sudden, a surprise, sustaining...and I do remember everything about the moment when the shift occurred. My life will never be the same. Beautiful message about what really matters in life and following THAT! Worth watching again and again.

Very enjoyable movie. Good acting. Good story lines. It gets the message across. Most of us can identify in some small way with at least one of the characters and begin to see how we can apply the principles of the teachings into our own lives. I loved Dr. Dyer's personal stories the most, those he told during the interview process. You can tell he is a very spiritual man. The message of this movie fed my soul. I'll reach for it every time I start to run on empty. I get it, Dr. Dyer, and I thank you for the reminder. xoxo
Surprising, Entertaining, Calming May 13, 2009

At last, here is Wayne Dyer's first movie, filmed part fictional story and part real. It follows very characters in vignettes that are interwoven on their weekend journey at a spiritually oriented getaway spot - all on a backdrop of the motivational guru being interviewed at the same local). Now renamed The Shift, this is somehow one of the most relaxing and uplifting films that makes you think, in a quiet way, how far off-track we all get and what life would be like if we led instinct first, ego second. Unlike The Secret which touches on some themes Wayne Dyer has long espoused, this is a lower key, substantial film that is about finding meaning and your own center (vs. using tricks of manifestation to bring on the wealth and material rewards which are not, in the long run, as meaningful as knowing what you need for true inner nourishment). The acting is notably natural which is what makes the film particularly unique. But for those who enjoy Dyer books and talks, it's another window of perception seeing him in this film, expressing his views, his way and style - in yet another dimension. If you didn't know anything about the concepts nor hear of Wayne Dyer, you would be entertained and informed. For those that do,this film is a welcome treat; an oasis that reminds you of the bigger picture. What is particularly effective is seeing Dyer himself integrate his perceptions and words within a larger 'story' (vs. just reading his words in his books) and secondarily, seeing 'average folks scenarios' (a busy workaholic, a lonely wife who shops her woes away, a tired out mother of two
who misses her artistic self, etc.) tell their story in conjunction with
some of the Dyer wisdom they come to find - not even realizing they are on a path. What also works is seeing a variety of ages respond to the same messages which adds a component of accessibility and 'organic' sense to anyone's journey.
Good to share with family and friends April 28, 2009

Watching Wayne Dyer in this DVD was inspiring to me. I particularly loved how Wayne behaved with all around him. He remained centered and in a place of integrity - sharing of himself - modeling behavior - observing without judgement. I loved to watch the transformation in the characters and appreciated some of the surprises.
