Chopra and Dyer, the best of friends, candidly discuss the miracles that exist in our reality and how we are responsible for everything that can happen in our physical world. I had to listen to this several times because it just blew my mind.
I first listened to his in 2003 as my life was going through a huge transformation. At that time I would head to the gym and listen to audio books as I worked out - a practice I called a "body, mind, spirit and soul workout".
The study of life from within life - metaphysics - is rather interesting and perspective matters immensely. There is much to learn and unlearn. So many "should" perspectives are wrapped up in our societal beliefs and perspective on them. Critical thought can be very helpful in opening dialogue more fully.
I listened to this audiobook when I was on a morning bicycle ride. I was laughing at the jokes and liked the poetry and quotes mentioned here and enjoyed the whole experience.
“We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.” --from Little Gidding by T.S. T.S. Eliot
"Infinite worlds appear and disappear in the vast expanse of my own consciousness, like motes of dust dancing in a beam of light.” - Yoga Vasishtha
“We dance round in a ring and suppose, But the Secret sits in the middle and knows.” ― Robert Frost
"Anothe level of freedom to explore that world beyond waking, dreaming and sleeping. Freedom is to escape the boundaries of space and time to experiance ourself in our pure essance, which is sprit"
"You need not do anything: you need not even leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. You need not even listen, just wait. You don’t even need to wait, just be still, quiet and solitary and the world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice. It will roll in ecstasy at your feet." — Franz Kafka
"You are the unconditioned Spirit trapped in conditions. The Sun in eclipse. There is a light seed grain inside. You fill it with yourself, or it dies." ~ Rumi
So what is life? Is life just like a strawberry icecream? Let's play hide and seek and love and enjoy. Haha.
Great discussion by 2 great thought thinkers and teachers in the genre - not as comprehensive as their books - but a great reminder and recommended listen to how the power of our mind and inner thinking impacts our reality

I could listen to Deepak Chopra forever. He has so much wisdom and shares that wisdom with grace and humor. However, Wayne Dyer comes across as rather self important. He too has wisdom to share but I found his tone of voice to be a bit arrogant and pedantic. Maybe I'll just stick to reading his books and not listening to them.
Audiobook of Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra during a recorded speech on healing and miracles. (Even though Deepak's lecture was a repeat of one of his other presentations, I enjoyed it a second time.)
I thought the end of Living Beyond Miracles was very interesting; Chopra and Dyer were recorded having a personal conversation without an audience.
