I think stating that he merely spouted common sense is an outrage. Yes, I said it - an outrage. This man brought world religious beliefs, the mind-body and soul commection, self-empowerment, the healing power of love of self and others into the mainstream - and at a time when this was not what it has become today. He was a pioneer.

It was not pop-psychology and he was not yet another "motivational speaker".  His considered review of topics and his ability to put complex ideas and concepts into simple terms was huge.  

Sometimes common sense is not so common until it is pointed out.

How did he die ?

His family posted his passing in his Facebook page. They did not give a reason. I had heard he had cancer a while ago but I could be wrong.

Thank you for mentioning that his family had posted the information on his facebook page.

I would like to know, what is "pop psychology"? The term itself is an insult to every patient, every practioner in the health care field! I practiced nursing for over 30 years before retiring early for my own health reasons. And I used the tools I learned in nursing school and college, every single day. 

People are more self-aware now, Thank God....of psychology within our every day lives. Especially with any illness, be it physical, psychological or psychiatry. 

Dr. Dyer was NOT a "pop" psychologist. He would probably chuckle at the term and say something to the effect of ~ whatever it takes to bring awareness!  That's the kind of man he was. Successful? Definitely and, long before Oprah came into his life!  

Please respect this man for what he was. First and foremost in that was as a Husband-partner, Dad, and Grandpop!!!

OMG, I must have been in a cave as this is the first I've heard of it.  I am so sorry to hear this news.

Could it be, like most of the rest of us...that the family is grieving and would like some privacy?

I'm not putting the underlining my post! Something is crazy with the site!
