Very pro natalist

I've always been a fan of Wayne Dyer. There are some beautiful messages in this film. I was very disappointed at how heavy leaning it is to pro natalism. Several times in the movie Dyer mentions that he has eight children. Yuck. That's not something he needs to be bragging about. The earth is grossly overpopulated, and some of us believe that having any children..or more than two is at best selfish, at worst highly irresponsible and narcissistic.

There's a scene in the movie where the sentiment of the writer (Dyer?) reveals that he believes a life with no children is a selfish one.

Interestingly, Portia De Rossi, in real life, has no children.... Anyhow, I thought I really respected Dyer, and still live much of his philosophy..However, the pronatalism here is imo self serving and selfish and irresponsible. Disappointing.
