Louise Hay

Transform your life from the inside out with Louise Hay, the pioneering American self-help author, motivational speaker, and founder of Hay House publishing whose revolutionary work helped launch the modern mind-body wellness movement and has touched the lives of millions of people around the world. Born in Los Angeles in 1926, Hay overcame a childhood of poverty and abuse to become one of the most influential teachers of self-love and personal transformation of the twentieth century. Her landmark book You Can Heal Your Life (1984) — which has sold over 50 million copies worldwide and been translated into more than 30 languages — introduced readers to her core philosophy: that our thoughts create our reality, that loving ourselves is the key to healing, and that by changing the way we think and speak about ourselves, we can transform every area of our lives. Drawing on her own experience of healing herself from cancer through affirmations and positive thinking, Hay developed a system of self-healing that has helped countless people overcome illness, depression, relationship difficulties, and self-limiting beliefs. Other essential works include The Power Is Within You, Heal Your Body, Heart Thoughts, and 101 Power Thoughts. Essential reading for anyone on a journey of self-love, healing, and personal transformation.
