Hay House

Hay House is the world's leading mind-body-spirit publisher — and perhaps the only publishing giant ever founded as an act of healing. In 1984, Louise Hay, then in her late fifties, created the company simply to publish her own books, Heal Your Body and You Can Heal Your Life, after mainstream publishers passed on her message of affirmations and self-love. When a pair of television appearances in 1988 sent You Can Heal Your Life to the New York Times bestseller list — on its way to more than 40 million copies — the little company in her living room became a home for an entire movement. From its earliest days, Hay House carried its founder's heart: Louise's living room was also where she gathered frightened young men during the AIDS crisis, and the company's founding principle of unconditional inclusion has never changed.

Under the long stewardship of President and CEO Reid Tracy, Hay House grew into a transformational media enterprise unlike any other — publishing books, audio programmes, oracle and affirmation card decks, online courses, and live events from its base in Carlsbad, California, with divisions in the United Kingdom, Australia, and India reaching readers in more than 35 countries. Its author family reads like a who's-who of modern spirituality: Wayne Dyer, Esther Hicks and the teachings of Abraham, Dr Joe Dispenza, Marianne Williamson, Caroline Myss, Iyanla Vanzant, Gabby Bernstein, Anita Moorjani and many more — a roster of over 130 teachers whose combined work has touched hundreds of millions of lives. In 2023, Penguin Random House acquired the company, calling it one of the most recognised health, wellness and self-help brands in the world.

Four decades on, with a backlist of more than 1,500 titles and around a hundred new releases every year, Hay House remains what Louise built it to be: not merely a publisher, but a lighthouse — a place where the world's most trusted spiritual teachers gather to put healing into people's hands. Its guiding belief is still hers, printed on millions of hearts as well as pages: that every one of us is worthy of love, and that it is never too late to heal your life.
