Books by Byron Katie

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.

Er det sandt? Kan du virkeligt vide, at det er sandt? Hvordan reagerer du, når du tænker den tanke? Hvem ville du være uden den tanke? Disse fire spørgsmål udgør i al deres geniale enkelthed The Work, metoden, der satte Byron Katie på det terapeutiske verdenskort. I denne bog bruger hun de fire spørgsmål til klart, fordomsfrit og kærligt at belyse almene problemer angående kærlighed, sex og samliv, sundhed, sygdom og død, forældre og børn, arbejde og penge og personlig udvikling.Hun udstråler visdom med en sjælden varme og autenticitet, og bogen vil være et must for hendes mange trofaste læsere.

`Very illuminating...on the cutting edge of current biological research' Jon Kabat-ZinnQuestion your thoughts and find freedomIn A Mind At Home With Itself, bestselling author and founder of The Work, Byron Katie explains that emotions such as sadness, anger and resentment come from believing our negative thoughts.

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. Then one morning she woke up in a state of absolute joy, filled with the freedom of knowing her suffering had ended. Determined to give people a way to discover for themselves what she had experienced, Katie has developed a simple method of self-enquiry that she calls The Work, four simple questions that allow you to see the problems that are troubling you in a whole new light. The Work is a life-transforming system for discarding the stories we tell ourselves, which are the source of our suffering, and replacing them with the truth and a life of joy and peace.

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.

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.
