highly recommended

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. From the very first story, the reader is invited to fall into these 21st century retellings of ancient principles. Each chapter includes a teaching story, an essay, and exercises to help you incorporate the teaching into daily practice.

Great Wisdom

Guy Finley is one of those treasures that everyone should get to know. I gave this book 5 stars, because I think it conveys very important concepts to live a happy, fulfilling life. Guy's writing style is a bit "quirky" and repetitive, and some find it a bit off-putting. I enjoy reading him, though, because I have heard his talks both on tape and in person, and can hear his voice when I read his books. So, I have an advantage.

If you really want to get into some great material, get his tapes or CDs. Warning: they are highly addictive!! His talks are wonderful, and full of incredible metaphors, stories, and passion about what we are about, and how we can attain so much more through mastery of our selves.

Guy Finley can best be described as a self-taught master of a wisdom tradition that incorporates the work of Vernon Howard, Gurdjieff, Ouspensky, and Krishnamurti, into a contemporary blend of thought that is not New Age at all, but transcends the superficial and aims much higher. He is iconoclastic and insightful, challenging and subtle.

Anyone who has the opportunity to gainn access to his work, whether in book form or tapes of his powerful talks, should do so.

A complete handbook of the art of self-knowledge and skillful living.

Let Go and Live in the Now is a complete handbook of the art of self-knowledge and skillful living, practical and down-to-earth and yet lofty and spirit-filled. In this book, author Guy Finley uses original "truth tales" to convey deep spiritual teachings that concern the whole of Creation as much as the individual. These stories are thoroughly explained and elaborated upon within the chapters, most of which include practical "lists" of exercises and ideas one can work with right away. Here are some examples: "Five Ways to Raise Your Level of Spiritual Freedom" (p.60), "Seven Insights Into True Silence" (p.86), and "Seven Simple Exercises to Invite the Extraordinary Life" (p.181). For an example of the depth and the clarity of Mr Finley's thinking, I would strongly recommend that you carefully study the information contained in pages 49 to 59. There you'll find what you've been wanting to know all along.
Particularly useful is the closing section of each chapter, which includes a Q&A section entitled "Ask the Masters", in which Finley quotes famous spiritual authors and philosophers (Thoreau, Eckhart, Krishnamurti...) to answer questions likely to be in the mind of every reader, and a final summary of the chapter under the title "Key Lessons in Review". These Key Lessons make excellent working tools for those who like to meditate on higher ideas.
If you are familiar with Mr Finley's work you will recognize in Let Go and Live in the Now a different approach from his previous books; each one seems to appeal to a specific part in the reader (the mind, the heart, the emotions...), but all revolve around the same central idea: liberation from the prison of the self through true self-knowledge leads to the happy life --already awaiting you-- that your heart longs for.

Truly Inspirational

I highly recommend this book Let Go and Live in the Now. All individuals walking the spiritual path and who truly seek to understand the Universal Principals that govern our daily life should read this book. This book is like nourishment for the hungry soul. As with all of Guy Finley's books I find it to be a true treasure. I have enjoyed reading this book and have read it several times, gaining a deeper understanding of truth each time. The style of Mr. Finley's writings in the form of parables allows the reader to discover for themselves these
spiritual truths.
