In this powerful book of quotations, Byron Katie talks about the most essential issues that face us all—love, sex, and relationships; health, sickness, and death; parents and children; work and money; and self-realization. The profound, lighthearted wisdom embodied within is not theoretical; it is absolutely authentic. Not only will this book help you on many specific issues, but it will point you toward your own wisdom and will encourage you to question your own mind, using the four simple yet incredibly powerful questions of Katie’s process of self-inquiry, called The Work. Katie is a living example of the clear, all-embracing love that is our true identity. Because she has thoroughly questioned her own mind, her words shine with the joy of understanding. “People used to ask me if I was enlightened,” she says, “and I would say, ‘I don’t know anything about that. I’m just someone who knows the difference between what hurts and what doesn’t.’ I’m someone who wants only what is. To meet as a friend each concept that arose turned out to be my freedom.”
“A spiritual innovator for the new millennium. The charismatic Katie acts as a combination mystical guide, wise-cracking therapist and knowing parent.” — Time magazine “Katie’s laser-like tough love burns away all illusions.”— The Times (London)“Byron Katie’s Work is a great blessing for our planet. It acts like a razor-sharp sword that cuts through illusions and enables you to know for yourself the timeless essence of your being.” — Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now“Suppose you could find a simple way to embrace your life with joy, and achieve serenity in the midst of chaos? That is what Katie offers. It is no less than a revolutionary way to live your life. The question is: are we brave enough to accept it?” — Erica Jong, author of Fear of Flying“Katie’s Work is a wonderful, transformative practice for anyone interested in spiritual growth.”— Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening the Buddha Within“The Work of Byron Katie is a completely accessible user-friendly form of the ancient way of spiritual inquiry, a simple method that anyone can use to untangle difficulties in work, love and family, and at the same time it opens the deepest spiritual directions.” — John Tarrant, author of The Light Inside the Dark“The Work of Byron Katie is a powerful process of discovery, a key that unlocks the heart. Byron Katie’s insight into what is at the core of happiness and fulfillment is truly enlightening.” — Anthony Robbins, author of Awaken the Giant Within“Katie’s teachings and everyday life are pure wisdom. She shows us the way to inner peace, and she directs us there fearlessly, relentlessly, and with utmost generosity. I have rarely seen anyone—spiritual teachers included—embody wisdom as powerfully as Katie in her passionate embrace of each and every moment.” — Roshi Bernie Glassman, author of Bearing Witness: A Zen Master’s Lessons in Making Peace
