Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Lifeby 
List Price: $30.00
Price: $22.80

Editorial ReviewsProduct Description Although it has been compared to other spiritual and psychological systems -- from Socrates' questioning, to the teachings of the Buddha and Zen Masters, to the 12-step program -- The Work is completely original. It is not based on any previous method or tradition. Neither philosophy or religion, it presents a practical and experiential way to undo the painful thoughts and beliefs that preoccupy our lives. Katie takes her powerful program for self-discovery and synthesizes it into this accessible audiobook providing everything needed for people to do The Work on their own and with others, taking them through this unique process step by step. People say that through The Work they experience a sense of lasting peace and find the clarity to act, even in situations that had previously seemed impossible to them. Amazon.com Review Remember the phrase "question authority"? Loving What Is is a workbook on questioning authority--but in this case, what is in question is the authority of our own fundamental beliefs about our relationships. Known simply as "The Work," Byron Katie's methods are clean and straightforward. The basis is a series of four questions addressed to your own lists of written assumptions. Whether you're angry with your boss, frustrated with your teen's behavior, or appalled at the state of the world's environment, Katie suggests you write down your most honest thoughts on the matter, and then begin the examination. Starting with, "Is it true?" and continuing with explorations of "Who would you be without that thought?" this method allows you to get through unhelpful preconceptions and find peace. An integral part of the process is "turning the thought around," and at first this can seem like you're simply blaming yourself for everything. Push a little harder, and you'll find a very responsible acceptance of reality, beyond questions of fault and blame. The book is filled with examples of folks applying The Work to a variety of life situations, and reading other's examples gets the idea across pretty clearly; chances are you'll find your own frustrations echoed on the pages a few times. Many chapters are divided into specific topics, such as couples, money, addictions, and self-judgments, with one chapter devoted to exploring the method with children. Questioning your own authority is never an easy process, but it seems well worth the potential rewards--stress-free choices, peace, and affection for those closest to you. --Jill Lightner |
