were told that if they had a career, and a fam­i­ly, and fol­lowed the rules,they would be suc­cess­ful, con­tent, and hap­py.
How­ev­er… they do not feel suc­cess­ful. They feel deep dis­ap­point­ment.
were told that doing what every­one else was doing would lead to a con­tent­ed life.
How­ev­er… they do not feel con­tent­ed. They feel bored, unful­filled and con­fused.
done all the right things, and have got­ten all the “wrong things” in return.

It’s the feel­ing of “stuck and not sure what to do next.”

There is a solu­tion. This End­less Moment is filled with cut­ting edge approach­es to liv­ing a ful­filled, enlight­ened and pas­sion­ate life! This End­less Moment is a guide to cre­at­ing new, excit­ing ways to live life and to make respon­si­ble decisions…

Review

Wayne Allen has tak­en impor­tant com­plex con­cepts and has expressed them in an acces­si­ble and prac­ti­cal way. His very per­son­al approach is remark­able. This is an excel­lent, read­able book. We’re impressed!

Review

It spoke to me. Cleared things up. A good author.

OK, this one spoke to me. As much or more than the oth­er Wayne Allen book I had pur­chased and read (the one about the Bud­dha Hall).

The thing is, I was well on the way to fig­ur­ing out myself in rela­tion to my life. Or so I thought.

Like liv­ing my life deal­ing with the cards I’m dealt. And like mak­ing no demands that oth­ers be dif­fer­ent than they are.

Some of the con­clu­sions I had reached were con­firmed in this book. Enough so I iden­ti­fied with it. Then, it pro­ceed­ed to inform me about how much more there is to know.

A lot.

Like the fact that noth­ing means any­thing intrin­si­cal­ly. Which means blam­ing is entire­ly sub­jec­tive. Things like that.

And that there real­ly is noth­ing about me that is bro­ken or needs fixing.

Now, I am lots fur­ther on the way to fig­ur­ing out myself in rela­tion to my life.

Thank you, Mr. Allen. A won­der­ful book you wrote.

~ Will Bontrager

Review

Author and psy­chother­a­pist Wayne Allen spent near­ly two years writ­ing This End­less Moment. The pur­pose of this book is to help peo­ple change their lives for the bet­ter. This Zen-ish style book is well-writ­ten and is filled with many sig­nif­i­cant insights that will give you a more clear pic­ture of who you are and how to get what you want from life.

The tone is casu­al, sprin­kled with humour, and full of lessons you’ll wish you knew long ago.

I’ve learned from it, and any­time a book teach­es you at least one worth­while thing you did­n’t know, it is well worth the price. You’ll get your mon­ey’s worth.

Review

A pro­found­ly sim­ple approach to life that even the most skep­ti­cal types would have trou­ble argu­ing. I enjoyed the mat­ter-of-fact writ­ing style, short chap­ters and ‘thought for the day’ anecdotes.

I was nev­er bored with the con­tent, thanks to your quirky sense of humour and your abil­i­ty to always bring the read­er back to the point of self-respon­si­bil­i­ty and ‘own­ing it’.

This book is great read for those who want to begin a new path but don’t have a clue how to begin, and equal­ly great for those who believe they actu­al­ly “know it all.“
A bit of hand-hold­ing was a nice touch with the guide at the end to give the read­er one less excuse to avoid mak­ing changes.

 

~ Katharine Phillips

Review

Wayne’s writ­ings are a reminder to us that respon­si­ble liv­ing requires patience, effort, ded­i­ca­tion, and care. His use of humour, sto­ries and casu­al­ness through­out the text makes it feel like a con­ver­sa­tion with a wise, gen­tle friend. The lessons might be tough but the rewards are … liv­ing fully.

Pro­found in its simplicity.

Review

I have fin­ished your book and want­ed to tell you how much I enjoyed it. I loved how it was so straight to the point — called it with­out creep­ing around — and so was able to cov­er an incred­i­ble amount in a short space. It real­ly felt as if you were talk­ing to me — and accept­ing no excus­es, but with humour and com­pas­sion!
I par­tic­u­lar­ly liked the sec­tion on romance, love and com­pas­sion, which put things in a way that I’d not seen before and made SO much sense! I found the whole book refresh­ing after the psy­cho-bab­ble and repet­i­tive stuff I’ve read before.

It was also very thought — or rather action — pro­vok­ing and was exact­ly the right thing for me right now. Thank you so much for writ­ing it.

~ M. Reid

 

Review

I was teary this morn­ing and in just such a crap­py place feel­ing sor­ry for myself about some­thing. I down­loaded your book This End­less Moment and print­ed it off. By page 4 I was hooked, by page 12 I was chuck­ling and had a smile in my cheeks for the rest of the book–which I read in one sit­ting. Awe­some, awe­some, and SO per­fect for where I am in my decon­struc­tion process. I am a Haven­ite and will cer­tain­ly take in your course in the future. Thanks for writ­ing such an excel­lent book.

~With warmth, Ellen

 

Review

I have fin­ished read­ing This End­less Moment. It’s the first round. I def­i­nite­ly will read it again. I enjoy read­ing your sto­ries and examples.

Your book rein­forces my belief about tak­ing per­son­al respon­si­bil­i­ty for any­thing that goes around in my life. What­ev­er has hap­pened won’t change things and each one of us must think and act dif­fer­ent­ly to expect dif­fer­ent results.

I like this ques­tion. “Who are you today?” I’m going to start ask­ing myself each night. Won­der how many roles I play each day.

Prob­a­bly would ask some friends and see their “blank” reactions.

Sex and touch­ing are two sub­jects that we usu­al­ly don’t express open­ly in my cul­ture and upbring­ing. But I’m glad that I am able to ask for hugs when I feel like hav­ing one. But I don’t always get one.

To sum it up for now, there’s so much to unlearn and relearn after read­ing your book. It makes me real­ized that I have not been read­ing and learn­ing enough yet.

Thanks a lot, Wayne.

Review

After read­ing your excerpts on the web­site I could hard­ly wait to receive it and begin my jour­ney. This is a book I know I will read over again. It is a con­fir­ma­tion of what I have learned in ther­a­py over the years and a great reminder. You had a review some­where on the web­site that I read stat­ing ” I heard your voice telling me this when I was with you in coun­selling”, and that has been my expe­ri­ence so far. I hear echoes of my men­tors and ther­a­pist as I read. I want to thank you for writ­ing your book and shar­ing your knowl­edge and expe­ri­ence on your website.

I am a con­stant vis­i­tor of the Phoenix Cen­tre from home and work.

Thanks so much for being there!

Review

I pur­chased 2 copies of your print­ed book This End­less Moment before Xmas, and a friend is devour­ing it, as I did, and then passed it on.
My most pre­cious piece, was your sug­ges­tion about begin­ning to mea­sure the progress of my life. Yes, I did that in my busi­ness, but not in oth­er per­son­al growth areas.

Also, thought I would men­tion how my thoughts were tak­ing me down the self pity and anger road, so I came back to your book and your web pages. Amaz­ing how my per­spec­tive changed, and how much bet­ter the rest of world is now! Thanks for say­ing like it is and putting the how to’s at the end of the book.

~ Jean Eyre

Review

Wayne has man­aged to cap­ture aspects of human and rela­tion­al dilem­mas in suc­cinct and often humor­ous ways. He is relent­less with his objec­tive that we own our respon­si­bil­i­ty for our selves rather than wait­ing for the “world” to pro­vide-and blam­ing it when it does­n’t. I know Wayne as a man who lives the talk, except when he does­n’t — great laughs for both of us on such occasions.

This lit­tle book is packed with wisdom.

Of course it only works when prac­ticed, rather than mere­ly the read­ing of it.

Review

Wayne Allen writes as he speaks and as he lives — with star­tling­ly direct and chal­leng­ing wis­dom. He also teach­es with great com­pas­sion. When he writes, for instance, “Have a breath and get over your­self,” he does so not flip­pant­ly or dis­mis­sive­ly, but with the deep desire that we learn to live well and wholeheartedly.

This small, pow­er­ful book could change lives.

Review

…Wayne Allen sent me one of his books to help me through my grieving.

It’s called “This End­less Moment” and con­fronts you with the stark real­i­ty that you decide what any­thing means in your life.

He says in his Zen-ish book, “Every­thing is a fig­ment of your imag­i­na­tion.” I love the reminder. It puts the respon­si­bil­i­ty for your well-being where it belongs: Inside.

~ Dr. Joe Vitale

Review

I want­ed to tell you that I thought your book was FANTASTIC. I devoured it and thought it was real­ly one of the best things I’ve read in ages. I’d like to get 5 more copies for friends and fam­i­ly for Christmas.

Con­grat­u­la­tions Wayne — I hope you are pleased. It says sooooo much in a con­cise, easy to read, humor­ous way. I just loved it. It was espe­cial­ly pleas­ing as I’ve heard the mes­sages for years, and can just hear your voice and see your expres­sions. Thanks for giv­ing me and oth­ers such a great gift.

~ Julie Redfern

This End­less Moment is “end­less­ly” direct and clear. 

From the Preface -

Clients come in for ther­a­py because some­thing (or sev­er­al some­things) isn’t work­ing. Yet, on an entire­ly dif­fer­ent lev­el (and the point of this book)—the real issue is not what isn’t work­ing. The real issue is that they don’t under­stand that solv­ing their issue requires that they behave differently.

There is an inter­nal bat­tle going on in each of us, between the seduc­tive siren song of stay­ing stuck in the “way I’ve always done life” and the order­ly dis­ci­pline of doing things in anoth­er way.

Most peo­ple waste their lives doing every­thing they can think of to get oth­ers to do things dif­fer­ent­ly. There is a con­sid­er­able emo­tion­al invest­ment in this effort. (Let me be clear about which effort we are talk­ing about: the effort of try­ing to get the world to coop­er­ate in mak­ing you hap­py. Now, “the world” can be a boss, a part­ner, one’s par­ents or kids, your friends… or even the per­son serv­ing you a dou­ble fat-free latte.)

The first step toward wis­dom is to under­stand that you can’t manip­u­late oth­ers or the world to make you happy.

In a sense, all that I ever “teach” clients (and all I ever remind myself) is this: I am respon­si­ble for me, and I am respon­si­ble for how I choose to approach my life. Noth­ing else is going on. This is such a sim­ple point that it flies direct­ly over the head of 95 per cent of the population.

You will learn the prac­ti­cal­i­ties of liv­ing a full and rich life:
Notice what would hap­pen if we under­stood that the world actu­al­ly is phe­nom­e­nal, that it is a series of uncon­nect­ed and non-mean­ing­ful events. We would have to admit that a thing is a thing is a thing, until we make mean­ing about it. To do this requires a leap in our under­stand­ing. The leap is summed up this way: the mean­ing I make about the essen­tial­ly mean­ing­less is mean­ing­ful only to me.

On rela­tion­ships:
In oth­er words, healthy rela­tion­ships are phys­i­cal­ly expres­sive rela­tion­ships. If I am avoid­ing phys­i­cal con­tact with my part­ner, I am in effect say­ing, “I refuse to make con­tact with you.” The refusal may seem to play out phys­i­cal­ly, but that sim­ply rep­re­sents what’s going on at all the oth­er lev­els — emo­tion­al­ly, spir­i­tu­al­ly, and in the couple’s “cou­ple-ness.”

On life:
I’d like to sug­gest to you that life is meant to be an ongo­ing devel­op­men­tal project. This is a con­cept we accept at work — we “glad­ly” train and retrain, look­ing for improve­ments, effi­cien­cies, oth­er, new­er, “bet­ter” ways to do things. I sus­pect we were meant to be on a sim­i­lar walk in our per­son­al lives, but some­how forgot.

Oth­er thoughts:
At the end of the day, this is the real­i­ty of life. We are born and die alone, and the rest of life is a solo job in a crowd. This is either ter­ri­fy­ing or free­ing. I’ll scare myself with it pre­cise­ly to the degree that I refuse to accept respon­si­bil­i­ty for my life. I will free myself pre­cise­ly to the degree that I allow myself the per­son­al sat­is­fac­tion of pad­dling just a lit­tle more effi­cient­ly and effort­less­ly each day.

And here is the point!
In the end.. you’ll find your­self liv­ing out your life in a con­scious, present, hon­est, and curi­ous way. You’ll take what comes with­out judg­ment and decide what you choose to do next. You will be con­sis­tent and clear. And you will be that most unusu­al (yet not spe­cial) of all humans- a self-respon­si­ble per­son, engaged in liv­ing life to the fullest, while extend­ing an invi­ta­tion to oth­ers to join you in the pad­dle, the dance.
