Hay House Publishing has revolutionised the self-help genre and become a game-changer in the publishing industry. Their success is attributed to their innovative ideas, forward-thinking strategies, and unwavering commitment to their authors and readers.

The company's Australian partnership with Phoenix Distribution started in 2012 and has allowed Hay House (and Phoenx Distribution) to expand their presence in non-traditional retail outlets across Australia. 

In todays blog post, we will explore why Hay House Publishing is the greatest self-help publisher in the world and over the past 38 years, how they have managed to change the book industry. 

A Brief History of Hay House Publishing

For those of you who are aware of Hay House publishing, but not aware of how they started, here is a brief history lesson. 

Hay House Publishing was founded in 1984 by author and spiritual teacher Louise Hay, who rose to fame with her iconic book "You Can Heal Your Life". Louise's unique approach to self-help literature and personal growth resonated with readers worldwide, and her work became a global sensation.

The success of "You Can Heal Your Life" led to the establishment of Hay House Publishing, which became a leader in the field of self-help books and personal development. Hay House's mission was to publish books that could empower readers to create positive changes in their lives, offering a diverse range of subjects such as relationships, health, spirituality, and prosperity.

Over the years, Hay House has published many influential authors in the self-help genre, including Wayne Dyer, Doreen Virtue, Deepak Chopra, Gabrielle Bernstein, Rebecca Campbell, and Anthony Williams, known as the "Medical Medium". Their work has touched the lives of millions of people, providing tools and insights to navigate life's challenges with grace and wisdom.

Hay House's commitment to producing high-quality content extends beyond books, as the publisher has also released a range of Oracle and Tarot decks, providing readers with practical tools to tap into their intuition and guidance.

Today, Hay House is a global empire, with a presence in more than 50 countries, offering a wide range of content in different formats, including books, audio programs, courses, and events. Their work has revolutionised the self-help industry, inspiring other publishers to follow suit, and creating a new era of literature focused on personal growth and transformation.

Australia is one of the leading countries for Hay House publising and is run by industry legend Leon Nacson and his sons. 

Hay House Publishing has always taken a unique and innovative approach to self-help literature. One of the hallmarks of their approach is their use of oracle decks. These card decks, which are designed to offer insight and guidance on various topics, have become incredibly popular among readers seeking guidance and support in their personal and spiritual growth.

Hay House Publishing in 2023

As of today, Hay House Publishing continues to be a dominant force in the self-help genre. They have published countless bestsellers, and their roster of authors continues to expand. After Louise's death in 2020 and Wayne Dyer's death in 2018, many people in the industry felt that Hay House's best days were behind them. However as always, Hay House Publising have continued to re-invent themselves.

Hay House authors like Anthony Williams, also known as the Medical Medium, have brought a fresh perspective to health and wellness, while Gabrielle Bernstein's teachings on spirituality have resonated with many seeking a deeper connection to themselves and the world around them.
