I owe my life and sanity to Louise Hay. Her teachings, particularly in You Can Heal Your Life, taught me that everything in my mind “is only a thought and a thought can be changed”.

This book is a powerful tool for healing our mind and life. It teaches us that our thoughts and beliefs directly influence our physical health and well-being. In it, Louise Hay emphasizes positive thinking, self-love, forgiveness, and affirmation techniques as tools to heal our mind, body, and life.

This book has been a significant milestone in my life. I truly believe it can heal our…

Stuck in a continuous cycle of the same old going nowhere stuff and looking for a way out. The way out appeared as a gift from a friend, You Can Heal Your Life, by Louise Hay.

I first shared a few brief moments with the book, as one does on a blind date that results in love before the evening is done, and the date continues to this day.

I developed a deeply intimate, open, and honest relationship with the wisdom offered here. Through a kind of gentle “pillow talk,” Louise taught me to love myself, forgive myself and others,…

From Rick's list on love as a way of life.

I found this amazing book at a time when I had just experienced a very emotionally difficult layoff from my VP corporate role and decided that “Enough is enough!” and it was time to transform my career and life.

I had been experiencing serious chronic illness in the form of debilitating infections of my trachea every four months for 2 years, and medical doctors just couldn’t find the root cause or cure. I began to explore alternative approaches to healing and found Louise’s book groundbreaking for me.

I later studied various forms of energy healing as well as psychotherapy, and…

Louise Hay is a phenomenal author, having proven her skill through the incredible success of her book You Can Heal Your Body. For those who are familiar with Louise’s personal journey will be aware that all the concepts that she discusses in her books are incorporated as practices in her life that have healed her mentally, emotionally, and even physically. This book was a great read for me because it delved into themes that I haven’t come across before, and how important they can be in healing us. For instance, this book talks about states of mind, causes of…

Louise Hay was a pioneer in twentieth-century New Thought, and her publishing company, Hay House, continues to flourish. This book is based on her philosophy that we are “each 100% responsible for all of our experiences.” A hard one to swallow, but it means, I’ve learned, we are in control of our lives and can direct our experiences positively with the right thinking. She instructs how to change our thoughts and discusses major aspects of our lives—relationships, work, success, prosperity, the body. Each chapter ends with an inspired and inspiring prayer/affirmation. Hay also includes her chart of illnesses, their probable…

From Noelle's list on for self-help and spiritual growth.

The first self-help book I ever read was You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. This book literally changed my life and how I saw myself. It gave me a new belief in what I could achieve and most importantly, it showed me that I could take back control of my life. For the first time, I became aware that everything I felt on a daily basis was something that could be changed if I was willing to see myself differently.
