The tale of Wayne Dyer is a true rags to riches story.  Wayne was born in 1940 and grew up in the motor city of Detroit.  He spent most of his teen years in and out of orphanages until he graduated high school and joined the Navy at the age of 18.

From the Navy, Wayne Dyer went on to college and became a high school councilor, only to find his true talent was motivating others.  Wayne has been a very successful motivational speaker, author, and “self help guru” for over 30 years.
