“The problems that most people have in life are not from 'lack of power' but from the abuse/misuse of the power that they already have. Mr. Finley shows us how to nip this in the bud, by raising our altitude to the right level. This seemingly simple act transforms our minds and outer lives.”

— Joseph Polansky, editor, Diamond Fire Magazine

Letting Go: A Little Bit at a Time is filled with big ideas that just might change your life. Wise, witty, and important.”
