Peace and Enlightenment
First of all, if you have not yet read this book, Please Disregard the negative reviews. I can speak from my own personal experience that this book provides one with enlightenment and peace needed in any life-changing situation. At the time that I purchased this book, I was suffering very deeply from a painful relationship that I had just ended. It was a case in which you know that it's good that the person is out of your life but a part of you is afraid to continue life without them and the cold touch of loneliness is unbearable. Your inner self is wrapped up in this stronghold that causes you to dwell on the hurt and disappointment, replay the negative thoughts,and be afraid to face another day because the pain overwhelms you (yes, I was feeling that low). In spite of my circumstance, however, Immediately after I began to read this book, what I was experiencing began to make sense. I was able to 'see myself' in Guy Finley's words, and then I began to truly understand that all of my fears were false. Finley makes you Understand your emotions and that "Letting Go" is a Choice that one makes. Guy Finley's purpose throughout this book is to help the reader to understand the power of the mind and adapt the successful way of thinking and analyzing one's self and one's reactions. The author's style of writing is very simplistic and has a spiritual basis. Before reading The Secret of Letting Go, I was always skeptical of self-help books, but now I must say that this book will truly help you free yourself of any unwanted situation and progress towards greatness in life.

Excellent book for a "letting go" era + moving on
Guy Finley's strategies for coming into present time are so very welcome in these most turbulent economic times. He shows us how to identify and release fear and our false selves, those mental constructs that can keep us running in place, afraid to go forward while knowing there is no going back. His exercises show the reader how to make wanted changes.

Clear, Authentic Teachings, Appreciated by the Millions Who Decided to leave their Past Behind ( jeffreystacey )
This Book has been a Miracle for myself and so many of my loved ones.
It provides the One Answer that will always change your inner (spiritual) conditions for the better. You can always Let Go, and let silence show you a new life without it.
In a world of Hype, Pop-Psychology, and Spiritual Sensationalism, It is a breath of fresh air.
If you are tired of Spiritual Entertainment, Promises and Crowd-Pleasing Hypnosis - This book teaches you how not waste your life, and also how to Work. Spiritually. Productively.
I hope you are one of the lucky ones, that is starting to suspect that the real "secret" is to not NEED any form of control, to be at peace with your life.
Everything else that can come, will come, naturally.
I wish you good fortune on your true path. Get started today.

Gave up two-thirds the way through.
This is the most horrific self-help book I have ever ran across. The writing style is difficult to even read. Seemingly insiteful sentences and paragraphs are nothing but gibberish. It is like listening to a bhuddist monk that has had way too much to drink. There is no logic in the progression, interjections and points seem tangential. The stories he uses as analogy are pointless, far-fetched, and nonsensical. I kept returning to the book in the hopes that it would start making sense, or even become readable, and I made a concerted effort to 'stay with it', but eventually just tossed it into the Goodwill pile, saying 'enough is enough'.
