THE SKY'S THE LIMIT
By Dr. Wayne Dyer
(Simon and Schuster, 3S3 p., $11.95)
The Sky's the Limit by Dr. Wayne Dyer expands the
thoughts and philosophies of his earlier two books? Your
Erroneous Zones and Pu/liny Your Own Strings. Here, in
addition to reinforcing the concept of eliminating erroneous
/ones and self-deprecating behavior, Dyer ae?
tivatcs the theory of no-limit behasior or mastery of life?
I believe anyone can refuse
to accept immobilizing

or personal psychology,

TheyTeetTQuoiing
from Deuteronomy 30:19 he writes, "I have
set1 before you life and death, blessing and curse;
therefore choose life..." Dyer's belief is that by looking
I within we can live more fully and creatively. By using our
internal indicators more than external limitations we are
more prone toward happfness and therefore more readily
appreeiativc of the beauty of nature, of ourselves and of
others. We can only recognize our inner signals through'
self-trust and -honesty. He asks nine questions for helping
one get at self-honesty. How would you change your
life if you knew you had only six months to live? Those
who answer honestly and act accordingly vyill realize that
"given the perspective of eternity, you have only a few
months left anyhow and the "wait until later" people are
gambling on^hcre being a future." All nine questions
create food for thought. They help us to release our inhibitions
and self-limitations thereby expanding our
potential for total growth.
By employing religion, philosophy, psychology,
sociology and mother wit to explain his theory of no-limit
living, Dyer presents another prospectus on positive attitudes
and motivation. The Sky's the Limit is dedicated
to the memory of philosopher Abraham Maslow who
believed in humanity's greatness, who devoted a large
portion of his life to the study of "self-actualization," or
the very highest levels of being. Dyer offers this book as a
practical philosophy course in being fully human. "At
the core of my philosophy is the belief that you can
motivate yourself and choose greatness even if you've
never <ione. vo..before*.'' He-has-incorporated into nine
chapters his philosophy giving suggestions on discarding
animal," "be a child again," "trust your inner signals,"
"respect your higher needs," "cultivate a sense of purpose,"
and "win one hundred percent of the time." He
ends with an attitude and behavior chart for transcending
from neurotic to no-limit living
- *c
This is (he third in Dyer's series of books on "living."
It equals in content and scope his earlier bestsellers. May
it serve as a guide lor those brave souls determined to
supercede the status quo. For those?authoritarian
thinkers who are governed by outside forces?the Church,
the President, the Boss or the ruling norms of societymay
they re-think their priorities and start on a new path
of life headed for total happiness.

Channels 4 & 26.
In .America around the
turn of the century wouldbe
composers were flocking
to Sedalia, Missouri to
learn the music of a selftaught
pianist who was absorbed
i>n -the - complex
rhythms of his AfroAmerican
heritage.? He
combined these rhythms
with lilting melodies and
keyboard rags ? using shifting
rhythmic accents over a
steady beat. The pianist's i
name was Scott Joplin. ,
Late 19th century Euro- ;
pean? music was har- I
monically rich, but I
rhythmically bland. For !
Europeans, ragtime music '
with its vital and syn- (
copated rhythms was a <
breath of fresh air. Ragtime '
and its dances, such as the I
Cakewalk, swept Europe, t
Debussy, in his "Golliwog's 1
Cakewalk" was the first 1
classical composer to draw r
upon ragtime rhythms and p
tnelodic structures and
many others soon followed f
his lead. $
Named' after E.B. 1
Bowman's famous ragtime f
composition, The 12th r
Street Rag is a combination ^
of commentary, interviews, ^
classical and ragtime music. 1

scene during many of the t
musical selections. An i

player piano also is
featured.
In interviews,> ragtime
musician Eubie Blake, Kansas
City jazz and ragtime
clarinetist Lawrence Denton
and composer-music
critic Virgil Thomson talk
about ragtime ? its times, '
its people, its style and its
influences.
While a major portion of
the program was taped in
Kansas City, The 12th Street
Rag also includes onlocation
footage from New
York City, Sedalia,
Missouri and along the
Missouri River.
In addition to Bowman's
"12th Street Rag<* -and
Joplin's "Maple Leaf
Rag," -the program's
musical selections combine
traditional rags such as
James Scott's "Ophelia
Rag" with other compositions
that show the influence
of ragtime themes
and rhythms upon 20th century
classical composers.
Included are: Igor Stravinsky's
ragtime dance from"L'Histoire
du Soldat"
i'The Soldiers's Tale"),
Claude Debussy's
^Golliwog's Cakewalk,"
Darius Milhaud's "Creaion
of the World," Charles
tves' "Central Park in the
