Self-Help Pioneer Dr. Wayne Dyer Dies at 75: Family, Publisher

Self-help guru Dr. Wayne Dyer died Saturday at the age of 75, his publisher said on Sunday. The cause of death was not immediately reported.

The media sensation was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia in 2009 and controversially claimed that he was fighting the illness with positive thinking, daily exercise and "psychic surgery" performed remotely by a Brazilian medium. 

Dyer's writing — including best-seller "Your Erroneous Zones," which built on ideas espoused by Krishna Rau, the founder of Siddha Yoga — made him a regular on the talk show circuit. Oprah Winfrey was one of the media giants to embrace Dyer, featuring the writer and spiritualist on her show numerous times.

Last year, spiritualist magazine Mind Body Spirit listed Dyer as the eighth most spiritually influential people in the world.
