Loving What Is

Author(s): Byron Katie

Biography

Bryon Katie found herself at a complete dead end in her life, she felt increasingly depressed and over a ten-year period had sunk into an existence of depression, despair and rage. Then one morning she woke up in a state of absolute joy, filled with the freedom of knowing her suffering had ended.

Determined to give people a way to discover for themselves what she had experienced, Katie has developed a simple method of self-enquiry that she calls The Work, four simple questions that allow you to see the problems that are troubling you in a whole new light. The Work is a life-transforming system for discarding the stories we tell ourselves, which are the source of our suffering, and replacing them with the truth and a life of joy and peace.


Product Information

This review is from: Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life (Hardcover) This book doesn't tell you what's what. It has no real philosophy in it. It simply gives you a simple way to discover your own truth. I was very skeptical about even reading this book. Somehow I ordered it and it sat around in my collection of thousands of books. I was searching for a "spiritual solution" to my feeling terrible and this was one of many books I ordered. Then one day, in emotional pain, I picked it up after reading many others. I started reading it. I read and re-read. I went each chapter again and again and again. A year and a half later, it is the only self-help book that I really care about. I have done "The Work" many many times and made it a part of me. I have purchased audio tapes of other people doing The Work. My wife has asked me for help in The Work and my son also. Here is what has happened to me: I suffer much less. I view every challenge in life as an opportunity for deeper self-realization. I am more comfortable with myself and my life. Things bother me less and less. Bottom line: I am more in love with the truth than I ever was. I am still less than honest but I am more honest than I was, and loving the truth more and more as time goes on. The truth does appear to set me free. Reading this book can help you see the truth for you. If you are interested then read this book.
