WHO WOULD YOU BE WITHOUT YOUR STORY?

Byron writes with frank humour theres lots of honesty and laughter in her works!This book is a collection of 15 dialogues that people have had with Byron Katie. Some have painful illnesses, others are lovelorn or in messy divorces or are simply irritated with a co-worker or worried about money. What they all have in common is a willingness to question, with Katies help, the painful thoughts that are the true cause of their suffering. In every case we see how Katies acute mind and fierce kindness helps each person dismantle for themselves what is felt to be unshakable reality.Although these dialogues make fascinating readingsome are both hilarious and deeply moving at oncethey are intended primarily as teaching tools. Each took place in front of an audience, and Katie never lost connection with that audience, repeatedly reminding each person in the room to follow the dialogues inwardly, asking themselves the questions the participant must ask. The dialogue between Katie and these volunteers is an external enactment of precisely the kind of dialogue each person can have with their own thoughts. The results, even in the seemingly most dire situation, can be unimagined freedom and joy.Byron Katie has spent more than 12 years teaching The Work to hundreds of thousands of people at free public events, in prisons, hospitals, churches, coporations, womens shelters, universities and schools, and at her nine-day school
