This book is the New York Times Bestseller as featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show and Donahue.
With over 3 million copies sold worldwide Louise L. Hay, bestselling author, is an internationally known leader in the self-help field.
Her key message is, “if we are willing to do the mental work, almost anything can be healed.” The author has a lot of experience and first hand information to share about healing, including how she cured herself after being diagnosed with cancer.
There is no better way to acquaint yourself than with publisher/author Louise Hay than with You Can Heal Your Life.
This book has been republished with bright, beautiful illustrations in full, living colour and wonderful typography, each and every page is a work of art by artist Joan Perrin Falquet.
The enduring message of the book is that we are each responsible for our own reality and “dis-ease.” Louise L. Hay believes we make ourselves ill by having thoughts of self-hatred.
She includes a directory of ailments and emotional causes for each of them with a corresponding affirmation to help overcome the illness.
For example, the probable cause of multiple sclerosis is “mental hardness, hard-heartedness, iron will, and inflexibility.”
The healing “thought pattern” would be: “By choosing loving, joyous thoughts, I created a loving joyous world. I am safe and free.

“Truly a beautiful book that comes from an honest heartfelt place. The book is artistically beautiful yet has depth and soul. It would be hard for anyone to pick this up and not want to look deep into the pages.
I bought a copy for myself and then purchased several other copies for gifts.
It is about life and about creating the life that you want in spite of the obstacles set before us. Truly beautiful and rich in soul. You will be inspired by this book – I was! “

This is a great find and if you have been lead to this book consider yourself a very blessed and fortunate individual. Healing our lives is such an “iffy” proposistion. So many times we derive so many “benefits” from not healing our lives; we can play the victim, we can blame others, we can receive sympathy from others, we can stay limited and small. If you don’t want to heal your life right now, that’s okay, I don’t blame you because it’s kind of scary taking complete response-ability for your life, but if you are ready…really, really ready, then this is a book for you.
I recommend reading it with a friend or if you can’t do that, read it in front of the mirror. I can guarantee that if you do that, the tears will come. Don’t be afraid of getting upset or angry or even disturbed because Truth is upsetting because Truth is unsettling but I warn you, once you’ve been exposed to a few empowering ideas, you can never go back. You can try, but you’ll have this nagging feeling that somehow your life is your creation and you have always been responsible for it. Yeah, your daddy might’ve been abusive and your mommy might’ve been alcoholic, but are you going to RISE UP or are you going to sit in the ashes of the past and play dead?
The point of power is always in the present moment so I suggest that you go and reclaim your life. I suggest that you cry, scream, throw things until you get it all out of system and out of complete and total surrender come back to the Life that was always waiting for you to notice it; your life and you are a beautiful, wonderful, magnificent creation that has so much to give.
You can heal your life. You can let the dead bury the dead. You can discover/uncover the Truth that your wholeness is yourt holiness and your holiness is your wholeness.
My only problem with this book is the section in the back where Louise mentions certain physical ailments and the mental attitudes that MIGHT have created the situation. This information can be a blessing or a curse. It can be a blessing because it can give you something to work through and heal or it can be a curse because you can use this information to beat yourself up with or make yourself feel guilty that somehow you created this situation and I don’t think that it was Louise’s intention for any of us to take this powerful information and find new ways to beat ourselves up. This is the only reason I’m giving the book four stars and not five not because the information is wrong or misleading, but because I’ve met quite a few people who run around “diagnosing” everyone. Use this information and do not abuse it.

I can understand how people could be easily upset by this book at first read. I received this book as a gift from a coworker (which offended me), I wasn’t suffering from any serious physical ailments or illnesses, and I was not a fan of “self-help” books!! I did not need help. The book itself just seemed too simple, new age mumbo jumbo… Several months later, I read the book again, and again. I skipped around & highlighted the parts that I felt were use full to me at the time. My boyfriend saw me reading the book & remarked that he hoped it helped with my depression. Me depressed? It wasn’t my fault, it was him, my boss, my parents, my friend, my kids, everyone else, I was a victim!!!!
This is how it starts. In fact, things got worse before they got better, some things in my life were resistant to change. Those things soon faded & made room for the good things I have now. Two years later I am happily married (not to my old boyfriend), we started our own business, I am financially secure, close to my parents, have a new car, have a lovely home, full of happy people who love me, and I love myself.
This book helped me to stop worrying about how “other people” viewed me, and start changing how I viewed myself. I just ordered a copy for my mom. (at her request) She knows that this book was responsible for the changes I made, most of which she was adamantly opposed to. I know she (like myself) may call it nonsense at first. The truth is sometimes hard to accept, but I couldn’t think of anyone who I’d rather share my “secret” with more than her, after all, I developed most of my negative thought patterns from her. We all have the lives we feel we deserve. Including me. I have also purchased The Power Is Within You which is the same concept, a little more in depth, & less about physical dis-ease, but also a good read. I recommend you start with You Can Heal Your Life This review is from a skeptic, to a skeptic. You won’t be sorry!!
