The Work of Byron Katie

Byron Katie


"I discovered that when I believed my thoughts, I suffered, but that when I didn't believe them, I didn't suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Freedom is as simple as that. I found that suffering is optional. I found a joy within me that has never disappeared, not for a single moment. That joy is in everyone, always."

Byron Katie


"Byron Katie's Work is a great blessing for our planet.The root cause of suffering is the identification with our thoughts, the "stories" that are continuously running through our minds. The Work acts like a razor-sharp sword that cuts through that illusion and enables you to know for yourself the timeless essence of your being."

Eckhart Tolle

The Work of Byron Katie

The Work of Byron Katie is a simple but powerful method of inquiry. With "The Work" you learn how to notice and inquire the thoughts behind any stressful situation. In this way you can understand what is it that really hurts you and the root cause of your problems.

During "The Work" your thoughts about stressful people or situations are identified and inquired with a simple method. As you continue to inquire you set yourself free from illusions.
