Byron Katie: Shift Your Thoughts, Change Your Life: Doing “The Work"
RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 10, 2024
Today Danielle and Whitney sit down with Byron Katie to talk about her process to help millions of people heal their own suffering through a process of self-inquiry known as The Work.
In 1986, at the bottom of a ten-year spiral into depression and self-loathing, Byron Katie woke up one morning in a state of joy. She realized that when she believed her stressful thoughts, she suffered, but that when she questioned them, she didn’t suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Her simple yet powerful process of self-inquiry, which she calls The Work, consists of four questions and the turnaround, which is a way of experiencing the opposite of what you believe.
Her books include the bestselling Loving What Is now in a revised edition, I Need Your Love—Is That True?, A Thousand Names for Joy, and A Mind at Home with Itself. For more information, visit thework.com.
