In this instructive film (first issued as Ambition to Meaning and later retitled The Shift), popular inspirational author and teacher Wayne Dyer literally stars in his own movie, exploring the spiritual journey from ambition to meaning. The powerful shift from the ego constructs we are taught early in life by parents and society—which promote an emphasis on achievement and accumulation—are shown in contrast to a life of meaning, focused on serving and giving back. Through the intertwined stories of an overachieving businessman, a mother of two seeking her own expression in the world, and a director trying to make a name for himself, this entertaining film not only inspires, but also teaches us how to create a life of meaning and purpose.

Also featured in the film are Michael DeLuise, Portia de Rossi, Ed Kerr, and Shannon Sturges.

Available in two formats:

regular edition single DVD: the 2-hour film

deluxe edition 2-DVD set: the 2-hour film plus 3 hours of additional interviews with Wayne Dyer.

Among Wayne Dyer’s many books are The Power of Intention and Inspiration.
