About Guy Finley
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 30 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.

Listen:

way when our conditions change once again.
Listen:
August 18, 2008 - “See Through the Suffering of Always Being More or Less”
Key Lesson: Count all those many things you have ever given to
yourself, and then ask: "What real meaning have they today?" Then

willing to take from yourself.

Listen:
April 11, 2008 - Awaken the Power of Your Supernatural Self
Key Lesson: No sense of bitter disappointment about others having "failed" us can darken our day without our first having fashioned high expectations for them; which means that when we find ourselves suffering for the actions of another, we need only realize the following truth.
