    About this ebook

    That chronic, nagging sense of discontent, that sneaky feeling that something is missing from life, that secret yearning for "something more" can all be healed. In Let Go and Live in the Now, bestselling author Guy Finley brings the great Wisdom Teachings of centuries past into our lives in an intimate, accessible way. Each chapter of Let Go and Live in the Now tackles a hurt that keeps us from experiencing inner peace and happiness. Every chapter includes a brief essay and a contemporary teaching story followed by exercises to help readers incorporate the teaching into everyday life. Each chapter ends with "Ask the Masters," a question-and-answer format with such historical and modern-day spiritual masters as Buddha, St. Augustine, G.I. Gurdjieff, Henry David Thoreau, Peter Matthiessen, and Jeanne Guyon. "It only seems as though there’s something more important for you to do than just quietly be yourself," writes Guy Finley. Imagined heavens never last, but eternal principles empower readers to live in "the now." From the first story of Katie, her broken heart, and the doctor who shows her how to heal it to the very last lesson of Paul who relocates himself from the city to the country and still can’t see "the forest for the trees," readers see themselves in these eloquent retellings of ancient spiritual principles.

      Let Go and Live in the NOWAwaken the Peace, Power, and Happiness in Your Heartby Guy FinleyI got so much out of reviewing this 198 page darling. In my mind this is a true self-help book because it's main focus is getting us to help ourselves. This great guide follows a natural progression, helping us to look at an area, the exercises to helped define the subject for us, and even great personal stories that showed how it played out in the real world. I never knew releasing the negative could be so painless.The format was simple and easy to follow, the points were well made and not belabored and I felt so calm, like I knew i was in very capable hands. I could feel the shame and guilt just melt away with the turn of each blessed page. My favorite section is an enlightened poem in the back that talks about the paths we take. I would recommend this well rounded mentor to anyone at any stage of their spiritual journey. Thanks Guy, You've done it again, in an amazingly wonderful way.Love & Light,Riki Frahmann
