Description:

Out of nowhere, like a fresh breeze in a marketplace crowded with advice on what to believe, comes Byron Katie and what she calls “The Work.” In the midst of a normal life, Katie became increasingly depressed, and over a ten-year period sank further into rage, despair, and thoughts of suicide. Then one morning, she woke up in a state of absolute joy, filled with the realization of how her own suffering had ended. The freedom of that realization has never left her, and now in Loving What Is you can discover the same freedom through The Work.

The Work is simply four questions that, when applied to a specific problem, enable you to see what is troubling you in an entirely different light. As Katie says, “It’s not the problem that causes our suffering; it’s our thinking about the problem.” Contrary to popular belief, trying to let go of a painful thought never works; instead, once we have done The Work, the thought lets go of us. At that point, we can truly love what is, just as it is.

Loving What Is will show you step-by-step, through clear and vivid examples, exactly how to use this revolutionary process for yourself. You’ll see people do The Work with Katie on a broad range of human problems, from a wife ready to leave her husband because he wants more sex, to a Manhattan worker paralyzed by fear of terrorism, to a woman suffering over a death in her family. Many people have discovered The Work’s power to solve problems; in addition, they say that through The Work they experience a sense of lasting peace and find the clarity and energy to act, even in situations that had previously seemed impossible.

If you continue to do The Work, you may discover, as many people have, that the questioning flows into every aspect of your life, effortlessly undoing the stressful thoughts that keep you from experiencing peace. Loving What Is offers everything you need to learn and live this remarkable process, and to find happiness as what Katie calls “a lover of reality.”

5The Work is Great  Nov 23, 2009
Over the past few weeks, I have been doing The Work that Katie recommends in her book. It explains how to do "The Work" thoroughly. If you really want to know the truth to your problems, this book will help you in doing that. Katie explains well in her book on how to do "The Work" and how to clearly think about the issues you have or have been through. It has helped me with what I think are small issues to big issues. Doing a journal is very important. I have also read one of her other books and have been on her website.

2Deeply Disappointed with quality of the 5th CD  Nov 12, 2009
Of the series of 7 cds the 5th cd was unplayable, No way to contact you. No way to return the set, as they had been opened. Loving What Is was excellent and I would recommend the book definitely, and the CD set, only if it was a guranteed return to send back if there is a problem with sound or engineering on any 0f the CD's.

5For the practicing Buddhist this book may be the final piece of the puzzle  Nov 11, 2009
I read many of the 1 star reviews just to see what people who don't like the book had to say. It seems as though the concept Byron Katie presents is difficult for many to take in. I found it easy to recognize and appreciate the jewel like quality of her insight.

I have read three of Byron Katie's books including A Thousand Names For Joy and I Need Your Love - Is It True? I have also listened to Your Inner Awakening on CD. As a practicing Buddhist the concept of working with the mind was not foreign to me, nor did I question her awakening or expertise which were clear to me. What she gives us is a new, powerfully practical and doable way to experience awakening, just as Zen masters attempted to do before her. Her method is simple and effective. It brings me great joy to recommend Loving What Is and The Work.

3use it for your benefit, find what works and discard the rest.  Nov 07, 2009
I wont go into the details of what this book is about, but in short, its based on a method created by Byron Katie called 'The Work'. Based on her worksheets that you can download from her website, you write about what is bothering you and then you ask yourself 4 questions. Rather simple. I agree with other reviewers who state that she has no credentials besides getting out of her self imposed misery. So if you choose to read this book, keep in mind that she has no basis besides her own experience to formulate these 'theories' and 'methods'. I do respect her experience, because at times, a degree/professional credentials don't do much unless backed by life experience and empathy. I like her method but she falters when she states that this can be applied to EVERYTHING including child abuse and trauma. No it cannot. If you have experienced extensive trauma, you do NOT want to utilize her methods and further traumatize yourself. this is good for petty, small issues that bother us on a day to day basis. I use it for interpersonal hassles, past relationships gone bad, general problems that are not rooted in traumatic experience. Def. read it, use it but do not make this the only method of inquiry for your life or use it for trauma.

5AMAZING!  Nov 02, 2009
