Abstract:
"In 2002, with the publication of Loving What Is, Random House introdouced the world to Byron Katie and The Work. Nearly twenty years later, Loving What Is continues to inspire people across the globe to investigate their stressful thoughts, listen to the answers they find inside themselves; and open their minds to profound, spacious, and life-transforming insights. The Work is simply four questions that, when applied to a specific problem, enable you to see what is troubling you in an entirely different light. Loving What Is shows you step-by-step, through clear and vivid examples, exactly how to use this revolutionary process for yourself. In this revised edition, readers will enjoy seven powerful new dialogues: real examples of Katie guiding people to discover the root cause of their suffering. You'll see people work their way through a broad range of human problems, learning freedom through the very thoughts that had caused their suffering-- thoughts such as "My husband betrayed me" or "My mother doesn't really love me." If you continue to do The Work, you may discover that the questioning flows into every aspect of your life, effortlessly unraveling the stressful thoughts that keep you from experiencing peace. Loving What Is offers everything you need in order to learn to live t his remarkable process and find happiness as what Katie calls a "lover of reality."--back cover.
