Simply Amazing

When I started reading this book I was surprised at how it touched my heart. We all want to be fearless and untouched by adversity but what do we do when we are confronted with difficulties and how do we handle the next uncertain event in our lives? This book gives a person the tools to begin to take back their life and to use everything that happens to them to grow in understanding to be a more whole and healthy human being. I can't brag enough on this wonderful insightful material. I think that all who purchase it will find the help and encouragement that I received.

Studying Fear wasn't at the top of my to do list.

Guy Finley points out a monumental truth that there is no freedom in a life filled with fear and anxiety. I have always been drawn to the possibility of inner freedom. In the Essential Laws of Fearless Living the author has helped me see that wanting approval is a form of fear, that staying in my comfort zone is an excuse to stay afraid and that my pseudo exterior bravado is a cover up for fear. Studying fear has never been at the top of my to do list, but now I want to know where fear has a grip on my life so that I can actually experience what it is to be free. This call to fearless living has the potential to change the destiny of any individual who is willing to experiment with self honesty. The author has given a rare gift to those who truly want an awakened life. Doug

Build the Foundation of a Fearless Life

One of the section headings in Guy Finley's great new book, The Essential Laws of Fearless Living, is "Build the Foundation of a Fearless Life," and in fact, that's what this book is all about. It shows the reader, step-by-step, how to develop the inner strength to meet the world head-on, without fear, disappointment, regrets, recriminations, or any other negative state. All my life I've struggled with the voices in my head that held me back from living the way I really wanted to. Reading this book was like finding the key to a completely different kind of existence. It's clear that mastering the principles in this book could change everything for the person who really seeks a more fulfilling life.

This is a Rare, True Book

There's a certain excitement that comes with discovering a book in which you know that the author is presenting the truth--and Guy Finley's Fearless Living is one of those rare books. What's phenomenal is that, in reading this book, I realized that Mr. Finley was simply reminding me of truths and principles that I had forgotten about and/or ignored. Somewhere along the way the world lulled me to sleep, and I forgot that the purpose of life isn't to acquire as much money and power as I can. Fortunately, as this book points out, Truth always welcomes us back home when we are finally tired of the purposes offered to us by the world. The knowlege is this book is timeless, practical, and can be applied instantly in daily life. If you've been searching for THE book to help you resolve the unrest in your mind and heart...you have found it!

Enlightening and Practical

I've been a fan of Finley's books for awhile now. He really knows how to say it like it is. I just got done reading this book and would recommend it highly. It makes the unusual but immensely important point that even if you fulfill all of your dreams, and become the most successful person in the world, what good is it if you still have to live with fear and stress like all of us do? It's a simple idea, but one that most every success and self-help book misses. I would even go so far as to say that the ideas in this book should be taught to every human being at an early age. Can you imagine what a different planet we would have if we were all taught as children how to let go of negative states like fear, stress, resentment, and anger? There would be no more war, and everyone would be a lot more productive and happy. The practical techniques are unique and powerful. The stories and inner-life descriptions are inspiring. Overall, I give it two thumbs up.
