Being Fearless and Free: The Essential Laws of Peace, Power & Perfect Living

I have come to the understanding that so many many authors of this type are really saying the same thing just in a new way. His way is entertaining, honest, engaging. I took the time to write this because after listening to this a few times I decided I wanted to see what else he had out there. So weird to hear negative reviews of various works of his..picking him apart..his voice, what he is lacking in. I wanted to go on record as not agreeing with that and saying I reallllly enjoyed it. AND a few months later came back and just bought two more of his things I am listening to one now. Very enjoyable , nothing I have not heard in a different way but I am completely enjoying his way , his humor his freshness and candor and joy.
With all humility I'd like to add that I have read quite a bit and study a spiritual path for a living ( yoga teacher ). As such , it is fairly rare that I don't value in something that I feel drawn to. My happening upon this author is purely serendipitous. I wasn't looking for something like this but I am delighted to have found it.

I've listened to this two times because it takes some time to "digest". If it's your first time listening to Guy Finley let me tell you that if you give his teachings a chance (and time) you will be surprised by your new observations. It does take some effort because it's so different than what we're used to hear in our daily lives. I really recommend Guy's work, I can sincerely say that I'm more peaceful thanks to the things he points out...

It seams that some people cannot like Guy Finley.

But for the ones who already loved any of his work, and to anyone who is in pain, understanding that something is not right in the way they live and are open for a change... this is for you !

It is a great speech !

I now have 3 books by Guy Finley, which involves over 30 hours of life-giving words of wisdom. If you want to acguire a new prespective on life and your life experiences, take the time and check out any one of Guy's books. An open and Light seeking mind will not be disappointed.

I wish this author/speaker (this is NOT a book, but a series of lectures) would spend more time working on getting to the point of what his philosophy is. I respect that life is complex, I respect that thinking and writing is labor, but I do not accept a thesis that cannot be distilled down to a simple statement - and THEN unwrapped with metaphors, examples etc. In the mind of the speaker, his thesis must be simple, but for me, I don't see what he is trying to say/convey. I hope he reads this and I hope he takes some time on meditation WHAT he wants his listeners to get out of the experience. Compare this to books like "Outliers", where the synopsis is distilled down, but time is being spent on giving evidence and examples that opens your mind to what the author is trying to convey. I do like his stories/metaphors - they work. What does not work is the speakers seeming inability to convey what his thesis is. Perhaps it is just to disorganized? It is like a non edited text. It needs a few rounds of re-writing. Simplicity is hard. That is why it is desired.

This is a series of lectures that are completely slow and rambling and has almost no point. Utter waste of time and money. Most of his ideas are stolen from other authors in the space and I'd suggest reading Seneca if you want to go straight to the source of the ideas. Skip this one.
