Louise L. Hay owns the publishing company Hay House, focusing on self help and personal development books. One of the
books that she authored was the very successful ''You Can Heal Your Life.'' Hay provides an account of her
experiences and what she learnt through the Church of Religious Science, first as a student and then as a church counselor. Her personal experience with cancer and her experiences with her clients led her to write her first book ''Heal Your Body'' where she discusses the mind-body
connection. You Can Heal Your Life expands into utilising this connection to other areas of life.
