Loving What Is, Revised Edition: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life; The Revolutionary Process Called "The Work" Paperback – December 7, 2021

She teaches in such a real and understandable fashion. She makes me think twice about concepts I thought were accurate yet are totally not true. She makes me use my critical thinking and she shakes it up. Well done!!

Byron Katie is amazing. Very good tool for healing.

Loving What Is has helped me so much in questioning my thoughts and turning my thoughts around. I have bought this book for friends and they have come back to me thanking for the book. Highly recommended.

Why introducing this book they mentioned a priest that said he recommended this more than the Bible. I found that hard to believe when starting the book but after finishing it I see that to be true as well.This is by far the most helpful book I've ever read and I'm going to recommend it to anyone I know that is suffering and even those that aren't suffering.From what I could understand Byron Katie's path is using the foundation of Eastern philosophy (you are not your thoughts), and rational mental models (inversion) that lead people to insights and actions that end their personal suffering.In Byron Katie's world there's three types of business: my business, your business, and God's business. If you're not focusing on your business and no one else's. If you're focusing on God's business it's already taken care of, and if you focusing on someone else's business you neglecting your own business.The foresight process here is a revelation and I think great insights even trying it throughout a reading of the book and I will hopefully continue to use it for the rest of my life. This book is a true gift and I'll try to read it every year to better understand and implement the work in my life and hopefully give it to others as well.

This book helped me let go of my anxiety around a situation in my life. It was like going through therapy and I took a few weeks to read it slowly and digest it. That said, 4 stars because I don't believe the work is applicable to all contexts - e.g Byron forcing/ convincing an assault victim to find the benefit of her father assaulting her. Beyond the pale. There are some contexts where professional help is needed. That said for less damaging things, I absolutely recommend this book and the work.

Are you tired of all of the stories and expectations circulating around in your head, your friends/families stories they tell you, tv and social media? Do you want to be free of all of the chatter? Then, boy is this the book for you.This book has changed my life. I have been working on myself for years (therapy, countless classes, books, meditation, opened my own reiki studio to share all of my knowledge with others) and have made amazing changes in being a kinder, more loving human.I have been reading this book at the end of every year for 3 years, hoping that everything would click and change my thought process. At first, there were small changes when I wasn’t living a mindful life. Little changes here and there.I am happy to report that the complete change happened this year. I find when a negative thought pops in, I immediately put the thought right back on myself, giggle at my audacity and then release my self-defeating thought and allow joy in. It is so incredibly freeing and the only way to truly live an amazing life.The trick is to quiet the ego and fear and choose to be free. It takes time, just as she said. She went into the desert and questioned all of her thoughts. It does require doing the work.I give this book to each of my clients and we do the work in my studio. For the ones truly seeking change, we are finally starting to see real changes in all areas of their lives when they question the stories that have been ruling their lives.I wish I could give everyone on earth this book. It was be amazing to see how the would could change if we were each open to living the way this book teaches you to live.This revised edition adds more incredible stories and more information to help you work through how to do this for yourself. If you are new to working on yourself, you may need to contact one of her facilitators. When you start and your ego is predominate, you don’t find all if the different ways you can look at your story. Once you get it, it flows on its own. She offers online group meetings on her website( thework.com) for a donation. I do recommend reading all of her books bc you learn how to question all thoughts ( even the hard ones like child abuse, rape, co-vid and death).She also has free paperwork to assist you to do your own work. Not may folks offer free gifts without trying to sell you something but she does with her paperwork. I also love that she offers you a choice in how much you can donate to listen in on her live classes.This angel is the real deal and I am forever grateful to her freeing me and opening me up to a wonderful, new way of living. I have this same dream for each if my clients and everyone on earth. Thank you Byron, thank you!!!

Glad to have this revised edition! Along with the content, the book design and typography make it a pleasure to read.
