| Description |
| Time magazine has already called Byron Katie a "Spiritual Innovator for the New Millennium" for her eminently simple process of self-awakening known as The Work. Hundreds of thousands of people have already attended presentations of The Work and, solely through word-of-mouth, have made Katie a rising star among the vast self-empowerment audience. "Loving What is" will strike a chord with listeners searching for a way out of the emotional, spiritual, even physical problems that continue to plague them. An ordinary housewife with three children, with no pretense to be any kind of exalted teacher, has created a system of self-liberation that has been compared to the teachings of Zen, Socrates, and Alcoholics Anonymous. Byron Katie's The Work goes well beyond the conventional categories of self-help. By dissolving the stories we tell ourselves, which Katie says are the sources of all suffering, it allows the truth of "what is" to give rise to a life of unprecedented joy. The Work can mimic the effect of decades of meditation practice, when applied to everyday problems and situations as they arise. It is simply four questions and what Katie calls a "turnaround, " that moment when one sees that it is one's thoughts that are the only problem. Because of Katie's warm, humorous, yet penetrating way, and because The Work in fact does work so well, this teacher and her method are at the forefront of today's spiritual and personal growth communities. The Work is already growing at a grassroots level through this country and throughout the world. Written with bestselling author Stephen Mitchell, "Loving What is" contains carefully selected dialogues between Katie and people doing The Work onproblems ranging from an annoying mate to the loss of a child. It is also full of Katie's vintage wisdom, directing listeners on how to apply The Work to any situation, and it tells the dramatic and inspiring story of Katie's own awakening. |
