Spiritually RevealingOctober 17, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is such an inspiration for spiritual seekers. Guy uses words to express truths that resonate with the reader. I personally feel that he is speaking directly to me every time I read this book. He hits on truths that we all resonate with but are unable to express in words or pictures for ourselves. The book is also a source of reference and rememberance because although you may finish reading the book, you can always open it to any page at any time and find a phrase or word that you speaks to you regarding a situation you may be experiencing at that moment. Guy provides practical strategies for daily practice. He reminds us that we have the power to change any moment and experience that is presented to us.
Great Book........October 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The wisdom that you will find in this book is very helpful for those who are true spiritual seekers. If you have read any of Mr. Finleys books or heard any of his talks you will love this book. If this is your first experience of Mr. Finleys work then this book is a wonderful choice. Mr. Finley always teaches that we must discover the truth within ourself of what he teaches. If you are looking for a blueprint with A-Z then this book is probably not for you at this time. If you are looking for that peace within yourself or wisdom that you can use in every situation in your life read this book. What a wonderful handbook of spiritual truth that can help you to discover within your self spiritual growth.
Spending hours daily on fears, anxiety and worrying??September 8, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Get this book today. Fearless Living talks to those of us that are spending too much of our waking hours thinking and worrying about yesterdays gone by or tomorrows that have yet to come, imagining circumstances our over active minds make up out of thin air (people looking at us in a funny way so we make up a scenario that they don't like us for some imaginary reason). Hahahaha! Been there, done that!?
This is wasting sooooo much of our time and lives, keeping us from living "right now" and in "the moment". Guy Finley is terrific and you will LOVE the book. It will change your life. It will make you HAPPY!

This has become my current favorite self-development/motivational book. I've purchased so many books of this type, but always ended up feeling like something was still missing, or I didn't quite get, and end up buying other books in the hopes one of the them would unlock whatever it was I was trying to resolve. I've read it twice in the last 3 weeks, scribbling notes all over it, and I think somewhere inside is the key to that 'thing' I've been searching for. Not sure what exactly what that thing is, but situations that would've been stressful for me [recently] have completely vanished, I realized in hindsight.
As far as personal developement goes I've made tremendous gains, and the urge to keep looking for the next book has vanished and I plan on reading it again in the near future.
I think it's all in the framing. Finley has a way of writing that combines good NLP with the lyricalness of, say, John O'Donohue.
One of the best!August 9, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Over the years, Guy Finley's output has been truly prolific. Books, cds, videos that interpret timeless spiritual wisdom in a modern way. This book borrows a little from his most inpiring moments. I found it truly inpirational from start to finish, pointing to the true nature of self from many different angles. Guy has a very unique style of sharing the wisdom, often employing little parables, humour and poetic writing. In his audio material, there is the added dimension of his very emotive voice.
To select just one example of what touched me in this book, his unfolding of the biblical verse 'be still and know that I am God' (Psalms 46:10) was a wonderful revelation. He points to the reality that 'who we are' is the underlying stillness beneath our thoughts and emotions. 'Be still and be free.'
