"Wayne has left his body, passing away through the night. He
always said he couldn't wait for this next adventure to begin
and had no fear of dying," his family said in the post. "Our
hearts are broken."
It was not immediately clear what caused the death of Dyer, who
wrote more than 40 books and 20 New York Times bestsellers on
topics like psychological self-improvement and spirituality,
according to his official website.
Dyer's first book, Your Erroneous Zones, was published in 1976
and became an international bestseller, sparking his career as a
writer and inspirational speaker.
His focus on self-help shifted later toward issues of
spirituality, quoted on his website as once saying: "My purpose
is to help people look at themselves and begin to shift their
concepts. Remember, we are not our country, our race, or
religion. We are eternal spirits."
As news of his death spread, many took to social media to share
their favorite quotes of Dyer's and post tributes.
"The world has lost an incredible man. Wayne Dyer officiated our
wedding & was an inspiration to so many. Sending love," tweeted
comedienne Ellen DeGeneres, along with a photo of the ceremony.
Fellow motivational speaker and financial instructor Tony
Robbins tweeted: "Wayne Dyer has passed away today. 4 those of
us who loved him it's sad, but he knew death was a transition.
We send love 4his next adventure."
