In this brief Q&A session, "Secret of Letting Go" author Guy Finley talks about bringing an end to the painful position of thinking that life owes us something, and what it would mean to have real gratitude.

In this short talk, "letting go" author Guy Finley explains that -- far from being discouraged about what may or may not be happening in our lives -- we are intended to participate in the ceaseless revelation of an ever-present and benevolent order of being within us that never stops expressing itself.

In this short video, Guy talks about how life itself never attacks us. Rather, real life is always trying to attract us to a new understanding that leads to a new life.

Guy recalled a time from his early adulthood when he had worked with laborers and had observed them to be very lighthearted, despite the difficulty of their work and how little they made from it. He felt a certain kind of shame at his own discontent, and came to the realization that it would be a very different world if we could learn to love our lives differently.
