Byron Katie

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, light-hearted wisdom embodied within is not theatrical; 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.

Inspired by the Tao Te Ching, this is Byron Katie's inspiring and pragmatic approach to achieving an awakened mind and living more simply and profoundly. Using the template of the 81 chapters of the Tao Te Ching she talks about her own experience of living in harmony with the way things are, and the difference between what hurts and what doesn't. Katie has written two books that teach how suffering can be relieved by questioning the thoughts that create it, the thoughts that argue with reality. This questioning takes courage and, in this her third book, she gives readers profound encouragement by showing them the freedom and love that live on the other side of self-inquiry. Many people believe that although enlightenment was attainable thousands of years ago by a few great saints or ascetics, such a state is out of reach of anyone living in the modern world, let alone themselves. This richly detailed account has the ability to change that belief. Katie's comments on life, and how to live it, are profound, vibrant, funny and crystal clear and all rooted in the familiar circumstances of everyday life.

The best-selling author of Loving What Is explores the individual quest for love, approval, and appreciation as she applies her breakthrough program, The Work, to present useful insights into how to approach casual friendships, workplace relations, and romantic and intimate relationships in order to experience true love. Reprint. 30,000 first printing.

Byron Katie's extremely simple programme called The Work was explored in her previous, hugely popular, book, Loving What Is. Through 'I Need Your Love - Is It True?' readers can explore what happens in their mind when they believe they need love, appreciation and approval.

Byron Katies The Work er kendt som et enkelt og effektivt terapeutisk værktøj, der kan befri os for det, der nager os, hvad enten det drejer sig om utilfredshed, bekymringer, krænkelser eller gamle traumer. The Work består af fire spørgsmål, som, når de bruges i forhold til et konkret problem, sætter os i stand til at se det, der generer os, i et helt andet lys, så vi indser at det ikke er problemet, der skaber vores smerte, men at det er de tanker, vi tænker om problemet. Elsk det som er viser trin for trin gennem en række klare og levende eksempler, hvordan vi hver især kan bruge metoden til at frigøre os fra et hvilket som helst problem, og vi møder bl.a. kvinden, der ønsker at forlade sin mand og mennesker, der er præget af dødsangst og traumer i forbindelse med krig og terror.

Jahrelang litt Byron Katie unter Depressionen, hatte massive Essstörungen, Zornausbrüche und war Alkoholikerin. Mit 44 Jahren schien ihr Leben ziemlich ausweglos. Ein Erleuchtungserlebnis änderte ihr Leben dramatisch. In der Folge entwickelte sie ein ebenso einfaches wie wirkungsvolles Selbsterkenntnis-System. Es erwies sich als dermaßen effektiv, dass es sich wie ein Lauffeuer verbreitete. Mit seiner Hilfe gelingt es dem Einzelnen, seinen Schatten zu integrieren, bewusst Verantwortung für die eigenen Probleme zu übernehmen und sie zu lösen. Zusammen mit Stephen Mitchell erzählt Byron Katie erstmals von ihrem Leben, stellt die Entwicklung ihrer Selbstfindungs-Technik dar und illustriert anhand zahlreicher Beispiele, wie sie funktioniert und wie wir davon profitieren.

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.
