Guy’s career reached this point through a most circuitous path. Born into a successful show business family, he is the son of Late-Night TV and radio pioneer Larry Finley. As a young man Guy enjoyed success in a number of areas including composing award-winning music for many popular recording artists including, Diana Ross, Debbie Boone, The Jackson 5, Billy Preston, The Four Seasons, as well as writing the scores for several motion pictures and TV shows.
From 1970 – 1979 he wrote and recorded his own albums under the Motown and RCA recording labels. In spite of the growing good fortune early in his professional life, Finley has said he still felt something was missing in his personal life. Seeking to fill this void, he abandoned his music career and left for India and the Far East in 1979 to study spiritual teachings and the principles of self-awareness.
By the early 1980s, Finley’s search for spiritual awakening had led him back to the United States where he became a devoted student of spiritual teacher Vernon Howard at the New Life Foundation in Boulder City, Nevada.
In the early 1990s with Howard’s encouragement, he began a new career as an author of spiritual guidance books. His teachings draw from many spiritual traditions and philosophies, Fourth Way and Jungian psychology. Today in addition to his writing and appearance schedule, Guy presents four inner-life classes each week at Life of Learning Foundation headquarters in Merlin, Oregon. These popular classes are ongoing and open to the public.
