Dan Caro has been proving the world wrong since he was in diapers. When he was two years old, he was engulfed in a fireball during a gasoline explosion in the family garage and was left with third-degree burns over most of his body—so severe that doctors held out little hope he’d survive more than a few days. Dan was in such excruciating pain that his devastated parents silently prayed for God to end their son’s suffering and welcome him into heaven. And it seemed as if God was willing to oblige—Dan technically died on the operating table several times in the hours following the accident.

But even though his heart stopped, Dan’s spirit wasn’t ready to give up . . . somehow he knew he had work to do. Despite the odds, Dan survived, but life would not be easy. The fire left him badly maimed and disfigured. His hands were burned away, as was most of his skin and nearly all of his face. He would endure years of painful surgeries and endless months of lonely isolation in burn units, only to suffer the agony of social rejection, shunned and called “monster” by both children and adults in his Louisiana hometown.

With the support of his loving parents and siblings, Dan did not despair. He kept his heart open to the world and focused on the positive energy around him. Before his sixth birthday, he vowed that his life would not be defined by the way others saw him or the restrictions of his so-called physical handicaps. Dan set himself a series of life goals, starting with the art of tying his shoelaces without fingers. Once he had achieved that milestone, he decided he could do anything . . . so why not learn to play the drums?

When Dan was told he’d never be able to do so, he promised himself that one day he’d become one of the most accomplished drummers in the city that gave jazz its name—New Orleans! Since that day, Dan’s music has inspired thousands, and many more have also been inspired by his personal philosophy of focusing on the positive, refusing to accept limits, and living life with an open heart. Today, the young man who was once shunned and called “monster” by his neighbors is very much in demand as a public speaker and travels the country encouraging others to not just overcome life’s hardships, but to view adversity as a gift that can drive us toward reaching our full potential.

The Gift of Fire is Dan’s first book.

The Shift—a companion book to the movie of the same name—illustrates how and why to make the move from ambition to meaning. Such a shift eliminates our feelings of separateness, illuminates our spiritual connectedness, and involves moving from the ego-directed morning into the afternoon of life where everything is primarily influenced by purpose.

As we contemplate leaving the morning of our life, where ego has played a commanding role, and entering the afternoon (and evening), where meaning and purpose replace ambition and struggle, we may encounter unexpected occurrences that accompany this new direction. It’s almost a universal law that we’ll experience a fall of some kind. Yet these falls or low points provide the energy we need to move away from ego and into a life of meaning and purpose.

The Shift doesn’t mean that we lose our drive and ambition; it signifies that we become ambitious about something new. We make a commitment to living a life based on experiencing meaning and feeling purposeful, rather than never-ending demands and false promises that are the trademark of the ego’s agenda.

Wishes Fulfilled! A Dr. Wayne W. Dyer World Cinema Premiere
Presented by Screenvision and Cinema Events

Premiere Performance Exclusive In Theaters Nationwide January 28, 2010, With One Encore Performance in Early February 2010.

On Thursday, January 28, 2010, a new and unique cinema experience will be offered to moviegoers nationwide - for the first time ever, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, best-selling author of more than 30 books and affectionately known as "the father of motivation" by fans, brings "Wishes Fulfilled," his newest motivational presentation, to theatres as a special Cinema Event.
"Wishes Fulfilled" is produced by Cinema Events, LLC, in cooperation with Hay House, Inc. and is distributed by Screenvision. "Wishes Fulfilled" was created at Hay House's late-2009 "I Can Do It!" conference in Tampa, Florida where Dr. Dyer delivered to over 3,000 attendees an empowering exploration of the dynamics of our thought processes, and revealed how the ancient wisdom of the Tao Te Ching helped him shift from ambition to a new kind of meaningful consciousness. Dr. Dyer's enlightening address was shot in high definition with digital surround sound exclusively for the cinema.
Hay House's unique "I Can Do It!" conferences featuring Dr. Dyer are generally held only twice a year in varied locations worldwide; this is an unprecedented showing for Dr. Dyer. For the first time, viewers will be treated to a full-length motivational workshop by way of the silver screen, delivering a unique, front row experience. This is a rare and up-close opportunity to experience this renowned author and expert in the field of self-development.
As a special gift from Dr. Dyer, "Wishes Fulfilled" moviegoers will receive a free download of his program "Putting the Excuses Begone! Paradigm Into Action to Work in Your Life," a twenty dollar value, free with admission.
"In preparing 'Wishes Fulfilled' for the theatre, our goal was to provide fans and friends who were not able to make it to our conferences with the same up-close and inspiring experience we always strive to deliver," says Dr. Dyer. "I'm quite proud of this production and appreciate the partners that worked with me to make this a reality."
"Dr. Dyer has so many fans around the country. This is a tremendous opportunity to bring his most recent and moving guidance to more people in such a sensible way," says Megan Tarter, Co-Producer. "We wanted to produce a film that befits the importance of Dr. Dyer's message and deliver it to moviegoers."

"The self-help/self-development field is exploding, and we believe there is strong demand to experience the inspiration of one of America's foremost motivational gurus on such an impactful platform as the big screen," said Darryl Schaffer, Executive Vice President, Exhibitor Relations for Screenvision.

Dr. Wayne W Dyer spent 2006 immersed in the ancient teachings of Lao-tzu, studying his monumental tome, the Tao Te Ching. He read, meditated, lived, and then wrote an essay on each of the 81 verses of the Tao, which many have called the wisest book ever written. That collection of essays is titled Change Your Thoughts--Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao. He learned, and to this day practices, what to think through all that Lao-tzu taught him in that year.

Excuses Begone, was also influenced by that eminent master Lao-tzu. Since the Tao Te Ching taught him what kind of thinking harmonized with our higher selves, he asked Lao-tzu for advice on how to change long established habits of thought. Wayne realized that knowing what to think does not necessarily clarify how to go about changing a lifetime of habitual thinking. He has drawn on Lao-tzu’s wisdom by contemplating his teachings and asking for his guidance on what it takes to bring about a change in the long held habits of thought that manifest as excuses.

In this tour, Wayne will take you through the seven questions that constitute the Excuses Begone paradigm and show you how this paradigm worked on himself and how it can work for you. By examining the support system that a person has erected over a long period of time, often going back to early childhood, and putting these time worn thoughts through the seven steps in this paradigm, excuses begin to fade away, and are replaced with thoughts that speak fervently, almost shouting, Yes, you can change any excuse pattern, no matter how long or how pervasive has been the conditioning process.

Wayne has seen people give up a lifetime of being overweight or addicted to all manner of substances by simply applying the principles that are inherent in the Excuses Begone approach to life.

If you are truly serious about changing any long established habits of thought that have led you to use excuses as your rationale for staying the same, then I encourage you to follow the principles and practices presented in this lecture!
