Book Description
A guidebook to self-discovery, this book reveals the secret source of a brand-new kind of inner strength. Whether you need to let go of a painful heartache, a destructive habit, a frightening worry, or a nagging discontent, this book shows you how to call upon your own hidden powers and how they can take you through and beyond any challenge or problem.
In the light of your new and higher self-understanding, emotional difficulties such as loneliness, fear, anxiety, and frustration fade into nothingness as you happily discover they never really existed in the first place. The Secret of Letting Go is a pleasing balance of questions and answers, illustrative examples, truth tales, and stimulating dialogues that allow the reader to share in the exciting discoveries that lead up to lasting self-liberation.

A new relationship with yourself,
By
This review is from: The Secret of Letting Go (Paperback)
There are a number of books and courses around that deal with 'letting go' in the sense of emotional releasing. This book isn't one of them. It is a unique and full-blooded assault on your habitual thought patterns and preconceptions of yourself and the world. I would say it is unique because, although Guy Finley acknowledges the wise words of others, there is never a sense that the presentation piggybacks on the work of others in any way. Instead, the book argues its own case in a series of truth tales, analogies, dialogues, bulleted insights, explanations and devilishly teasing questions like: if I am thinking what I want to think, why is it hurting me to think it?I confess it took me quite a long time to work through this book. It is so thought provoking that I could only take it in short pieces in order to absorb it. But it was well worth the effort. When I open it at random now, there isn't a single page that doesn't offer a profound truth that is worth reading and absorbing all over again. In fact that's exactly what the author suggests: to pick out ideas and work with them. I do, and perhaps the biggest recommendation is that, every time I do, I am tempted to start reading the book all over again. To summarise, this book is not just a 'how to' manual for letting go, it is about deeply understanding the need for such a process. Read it and be provoked into a new relationship with yourself!

A Life Changer!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Secret of Letting Go (Paperback)
I thought this was an amazing book. Here we are running around this planet looking to satisfy some kind of constant disatisfaction that we all have and Guy shows us how to instantly dissolve all of our inner discontent. He shows us to the path of instant peace. Most other self-help materials try this round-about approach to happiness but it's just more confusing and frustrating. Guy's techniques are very straight-forward and instantly usable through his no b.s. approach. If you're looking to finally get rid of that internal nagging that you should be doing something, you should be trying to get something, or that you're just plain miserable...Get this book and it will change everything...Instantly!

Not as good as Vernon Howard,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Secret of Letting Go (Paperback)
I agree with the other reviewers who point out that, while the ideas in Finley's book are good, they are derived from those of his teacher, Vernon Howard. There's nothing wrong with that, of course. Howard drew on many earlier writers himself. Unfortunately, this book is nowhere near as clear as Howard's writing, and, well, it's kind of longwinded. If you find Finley's book helpful - great! But if, like me, you were frustrated by a sense that there's something true in there and you can't quite get at it... go to the source and read Vernon Howard.
