Making Your Thoughts Work For You
(2007), Byron Katie and Wayne Dyer
4-CD Live Lecture
Presenting together for the first time, Byron Katie and
Wayne Dyer address the powerful effects
of your thoughts and how they create your experience.
You'll learn a transformative process that will allow you to identify the
stressful thoughts that cause all the pain and suffering in your life.
When you release these thoughts, instead of letting them dictate your
experience, you become empowered to live a life of joy--in touch with your
true nature.
Make the choice to change your thoughts to bring about inner peace and
true happiness. In this powerful CD program, two life-changing teachers
show you the way. Your Inner Awakening: The Work of Byron Katie: Four Questions That Will Transform Your Life (2007)
Audio CD
No matter how much money, status, or success they may have,
very few people experience true joy and personal freedom. Byron Katie
knows this reality too well. In the midst of a "normal and successful"
life, she was sinking deeper and deeper into depression and despair until
a sudden, profound insight into how the mind works set her on the path to
a life filled with love for everything life brings. Eager to help others
find this freedom, Katie developed a revolutionary process to make this
transformation practical, a simple yet powerful method of inquiry known as
The Work.
The Work's four powerful questions and turnaround (which is a way of
experiencing the opposite of what you believe) have transformed the lives
of hundreds of thousands of people throughout the world. In Your Inner
Awakening, Byron Katie will teach you how to use The Work for yourself to
question and undo any stressful thought that keeps you from experiencing
mental clarity. You'll discover that trying to let go of a painful thought
never works; instead once you have investigated it, the thought lets go of
you. Eventually you may find, as so many others have, that peace and joy
flow into every area of your life. Guided Meditations with Katie (Date?)

A Thousand Names for Joy: Living in Harmony with the Way Things Are (2007) with Stephen Mitchell
In her first two books, Byron Katie showed how suffering can be ended by
questioning the stressful thoughts that create it, through a process of
self-inquiry she calls The Work. Now, in A Thousand
Names for Joy,
she encourages us to discover the freedom that lives on the other side of
inquiry.
Stephen Mitchell—the renowned translator of the Tao Te Ching—selected
provocative excerpts from that ancient text as a stimulus for Katie to
talk about the most essential issues that face us all: life and death,
good and evil, love, work, and fulfillment. The result is a book that
allows the timeless insights of the Tao Te Ching to resonate anew for us
today, while offering a vivid and illuminating glimpse into the life of
someone who for twenty years—ever since she “woke up to reality” one
morning in 1986—has been living what Lao-tzu wrote more than 2,500 years
ago.
Katie’s profound, lighthearted wisdom is not theoretical; it is absolutely
authentic. That is what makes this book so compelling. It’s a portrait of
a woman who is imperturbably joyous, whether she is dancing with her
infant granddaughter or finds that her house has been emptied out by
burglars, whether she stands before a man about to kill her or embarks on
the adventure of walking to the kitchen, whether she learns that she is
going blind, flunks a “How Good a Lover Are You?” test, or is diagnosed
with cancer. With her stories of total ease in all circumstances, Katie
does more than describe the awakened mind; she lets you see it, feel it,
in action. And she shows you how that mind is yours as well.
Question Your Thinking, Change The World: Quotations from Byron Katie (2007)
Not only will this book help you on many specific issues, but it will
point you toward your own wisdom and will encourage you to question your
own mind, using the four simple yet incredibly powerful questions of
Katie’s process of self-inquiry, called The Work. Katie is a living
example of the clear, all-embracing love that is our true identity.
Because she has thoroughly questioned her own mind, her words shine with
the joy of understanding.
I Need Your Love - Is That True?: How to Stop Seeking Love, Approval, and Appreciation and Start Finding Them
Instead (2005) with Michael Katz
The usual advice offered in self-help books and reinforced by our culture
advocates a stressful, all-consuming quest for love and approval. We are
advised to learn self-marketing and manipulative skills—how to attract,
impress, seduce, and often pretend to be something we aren’t. This
approach doesn’t work. It leaves millions of walking wounded—those who,
having failed to find love or appreciation, blame themselves and conclude
that they are unworthy of love.
I Need Your Love—Is That True? helps you illuminate every area in
your life where you seem to lack what you long for most—the love of your
spouse, the respect of your child, a lover’s tenderness, or the esteem of
your boss. Through its penetrating inquiry, you will quickly discover the
falseness of the accepted ways of seeking love and approval, and also of
the mythology that equates love with need. Using the method in this book,
you will inquire into painful beliefs that you’ve based your whole life
on—and be delighted to see them evaporate. Katie shows you how unraveling
the knots in the search for love, approval, and appreciation brings real
love and puts you in charge of your own happiness.
Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life (2002) with Stephen Mitchell
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.”
