The Secret of Letting Go

Guy Finley's encouraging and accessible message is one of the true bright lights in our world today. His ideas cut straight to the heart of our most pressing personal and social issues--relationships, fear, addiction, stress/anxiety, peace, happiness, freedom--and lead the way to a higher life.

Guy is the best-selling author of The Secret of Letting Go and more than 36 other books and audio albums that have sold over a million copies in 16 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 20 years and has been a guest on over 400 television and radio shows, including national appearances on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, NPR, Wisdom Network, and many others. His radio program, Guy Finley Live, is a live chat that airs monthly on HealthyLife.net as part of the network's Visionary Celebrity Host Series. His syndicated weekly radio program is aired on several international networks including Healthylife Radio Network, WorldTalkRadio Network, and Contact Talk Radio International. 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 his non-profit Life of Learning Foundation headquarters in Merlin, Oregon. These classes are ongoing and open to the public.

Guy Finley is an internationally renowned spiritual teacher. He is the best-selling author of The Secret of Letting Go and 45 other books and audio programs that have sold over 2 million copies in 26 languages worldwide.

Considered a modern-day mystic and philosopher, his light-hearted, yet no-nonsense teachings on self-realization are endorsed by a wide array of seekers--from celebrities and CEOs to religious leaders around the globe. He is founder and director of the Life of Learning Foundation, a nonprofit center for self-study located in Merlin, Oregon, where he holds in-person workshops, as well as hosts the Foundation's Wisdom School--an on-line self-discovery program for seekers of higher self-knowledge.

In 2011, Guy founded the One Journey Project--an interfaith initiative dedicated to illuminating the unseen spiritual unity underlying all world religions. Finley has appeared on over 700 radio and TV shows, including ABC, NBC, NPR, CBS, and CNN.
