About "The Shift" Movie
In this class, we will be watching 10 video clips from "The Shift" movie with Dr. Wayne Dyer. These clips explore the spiritual journey from personal ambitions to finding meaning and purpose in life.
The film presents the idea that in the second half of life, there’s a shift from being driven by ego ... emphasizing achievement and accumulation ... to living a life of purpose and meaning.
The film invites viewers to reflect on their own lives, to question their priorities, and explore the possibilities of a profound shift from ego-centered pursuits to a life of purpose and fulfillment.
