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. Each chapter of Let Go and Live
in the Now tackles a hurt that keeps us from experiencing inner peace
and happiness. Every chapter includes a brief essay and a contemporary
teaching story followed by exercises to help readers incorporate the
teaching into everyday life. Each chapter ends with Ask the Masters, a
questionandanswer format with such historical and modernday spiritual
masters as Buddha, St. Augustine, G.I. Gurdjieff, Henry David Thoreau,
Peter Matthiessen, and Jeanne Guyon. It only seems as though there's
something more important for you to do than just quietly be yourself,
writes Guy Finley. Imagined heavens never last, but eternal principles
empower readers to live in the now. From the first story of Katie, her
broken heart, and the doctor who shows her how to heal it to the very
last lesson of Paul who relocates himself from the city to the country
and still can't see the forest for the trees, readers see themselves in
these eloquent retellings of ancient spiritual principles.
