About the author
Guy Finley is an American self-help and spiritual writer whose books focus on self-observation and letting go of habitual, self-defeating thought patterns. He has sold more than two million copies of his work and is also known for The Essential Laws of Fearless Living and The Courage to Be Free. The Secret of Letting Go, revised and reissued by Llewellyn Publications in 2007, addresses depression, stress, and relationships through the practice of releasing thoughts that undermine well-being. The Seeker, the Search, the Sacred (Weiser Books) and Let Go and Live in the Now (Red Wheel) continue this theme, offering exercises drawn from what Finley describes as timeless wisdom teachings aimed at reducing chronic discontent. His books are written for a general audience interested in practical, nondenominational approaches to inner change rather than academic philosophy or a specific religious tradition.
