The Bestselling Self-Help Book of All Time

Wayne Dyer’s 1976 debut Your Erroneous Zones became one of the best-selling books in history, yet it was initially ignored by major publishers who predicted it would fail.

After being rejected by numerous publishing houses, the book was finally picked up by a small company that specialized in reference works. Dyer personally promoted the title by traveling extensively and appearing on television shows, sparking a massive grassroots movement. It eventually spent sixty-four weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. This massive success helped define the modern self-help genre we know today.
