More About the Author

Best-selling "Letting Go" author Guy Finley's encouraging and accessible message is one of the true bright lights in our world today. His ideas go straight to the heart of our most important personal and social issues - relationships, success, addiction, stress, peace, happiness, freedom - and lead the way to a higher life.

Finley is the acclaimed author of The Essential Laws of Fearless Living and more than 38 other books and audio programs that have sold over a million copies in 18 languages worldwide. In addition, he has presented over 4,000 unique self-realization seminars to thousands of grateful students throughout North America and Europe over the past 30 years and has been a guest on over 500 television and radio shows, including national appearances on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, NPR, and many others.

Finley is Director of Life of Learning Foundation, the renowned non-profit Center for Self-study in Merlin, Oregon, and his popular Key Lesson e-mails are read each week by over 200,000 subscribers in 142 countries. His work is widely endorsed by doctors, business professionals, celebrities, and religious leaders of all denominations.

Guy's career reached this point through a circuitous path. Born into a successful show business family, he is the son of Late-Night TV and radio pioneer Larry Finley. His childhood friends were the sons and daughters of the most famous celebrities in the world. As a young man Guy enjoyed success in a number of areas including composing award-winning music for many popular recording artists including Diana Ross, Debbie Boone, The Jackson 5, Billy Preston, The Four Seasons, as well as writing the scores for several motion pictures and TV shows. From 1970-1979 he wrote and recorded his own albums under the Motown and RCA recording labels.

Throughout his youth, Guy suspected there was more to life than the type of worldly success that led to the emptiness and frustration he saw among his own "successful" friends and colleagues. In 1979, after travels throughout North America, India and the Far East in search of truth and Higher Wisdom, Guy voluntarily retired from his flourishing music career in order to simplify his life and to concentrate on deeper self-studies.

In addition to his writing and appearance schedule, Guy presents four inner-life classes each week at Life of Learning Foundation headquarters in Merlin, Oregon. These classes are ongoing and open to the public. For more information about Guy Finley, and his life-changing work, visit www.guyfinley.org

5.0 out of 5 stars Enlightening and Practical, April 30, 2008

By 

Shauna (Palo Alto, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Essential Laws of Fearless Living: Find the Power to Never Feel Powerless Again (Paperback)

I've been a fan of Finley's books for awhile now. He really knows how to say it like it is.

I just got done reading this book and would recommend it highly. It makes the unusual but immensely important point that even if you fulfill all of your dreams, and become the most successful person in the world, what good is it if you still have to live with fear and stress like all of us do? It's a simple idea, but one that most every success and self-help book misses.

I would even go so far as to say that the ideas in this book should be taught to every human being at an early age. Can you imagine what a different planet we would have if we were all taught as children how to let go of negative states like fear, stress, resentment, and anger? There would be no more war, and everyone would be a lot more productive and happy.

The practical techniques are unique and powerful. The stories and inner-life descriptions are inspiring. Overall, I give it two thumbs up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Studying Fear wasn't at the top of my to do list., May 20, 2008

By 

Doug N. - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Essential Laws of Fearless Living: Find the Power to Never Feel Powerless Again (Paperback)

Guy Finley points out a monumental truth that there is no freedom in a life filled with fear and anxiety. I have always been drawn to the possibility of inner freedom. In the Essential Laws of Fearless Living the author has helped me see that wanting approval is a form of fear, that staying in my comfort zone is an excuse to stay afraid and that my pseudo exterior bravado is a cover up for fear.

Studying fear has never been at the top of my to do list, but now I want to know where fear has a grip on my life so that I can actually experience what it is to be free.

This call to fearless living has the potential to change the destiny of any individual who is willing to experiment with self honesty. The author has given a rare gift to those who truly want an awakened life.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a Rare, True Book, May 1, 2008

By 

Eric R. "Eric R." - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Essential Laws of Fearless Living: Find the Power to Never Feel Powerless Again (Paperback)

There's a certain excitement that comes with discovering a book in which you know that the author is presenting the truth--and Guy Finley's Fearless Living is one of those rare books.

What's phenomenal is that, in reading this book, I realized that Mr. Finley was simply reminding me of truths and principles that I had forgotten about and/or ignored. Somewhere along the way the world lulled me to sleep, and I forgot that the purpose of life isn't to acquire as much money and power as I can. Fortunately, as this book points out, Truth always welcomes us back home when we are finally tired of the purposes offered to us by the world.

The knowlege is this book is timeless, practical, and can be applied instantly in daily life. If you've been searching for THE book to help you resolve the unrest in your mind and heart...you have found it!
