tough love burns away all illusions.” The Times of London

“Byron Katie’s Work
is a great blessing for our planet. The root cause of suffering is 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.
Joy, peace, and love emanate from it as your natural state.” Eckhart Tolle author, The Power of Now

“Byron Katie is
one of the truly great and inspiring
teachers of our time.
She has been enormously
helpful to me personally.
I love this very wise woman.” Dr. Wayne W. Dyer author, Inspiration

In
a letter from Helsinki, Finland, J.V. writes:
"...two groundbreaking Stanford University pain syndrome experts
consider Byron Katie's approach the best form of Cognitive Therapy.
In the new revised 5th Edition of A
Headache in the Pelvis (pp. 326–330), which came out
in May 2008, Stanford psychologist David Wise, Ph.D., and neurologist
Rodney Anderson, M.D., refer to Albert Ellis' Rational-Emotive Therapy
and Aaron Beck's Cognitive Therapy and then write (in their italics): 'The
best form of Cognitive Therapy, in our opinion, is offered in The
Work of Byron Katie, who provides an approach to disarming catastrophic
thinking by means of a process that one can do oneself. This is
the approach that we recommend.' They then describe the procedure,
adding: 'Our description of this process is rarely sufficient
to become proficient at it. We discuss this method in our monthly
6-day clinics. Information specifically about this cognitive therapy
work can be found at www.thework.com and in the books of Byron Katie." Wise
and Anderson are practical, in-the-trenches therapists who work
daily with severe pelvic pain and other chronic syndromes. They
recommended Byron Katie's method already in the 4th edition of the
book
(pp. 298–301).'

“Byron Katie's teachings
and everyday life
are pure wisdom.
Her Work shows us
the way to inner peace,
and she directs us there,
fearlessly, relentlessly, and
with utmost generosity.
I have rarely seen anyone
—spiritual teachers included— embody wisdom as powerfully as Katie in
her passionate embrace of each and every moment.” Roshi Bernie Glassman

“Katie’s Work is a
wonderful, transformative practice for anyone interested in spiritual
growth.” Lama Surya Das
author, Awakening the Buddha Within

“Good Lord! Where did Byron Katie come
from? She’s the real McCoy. Her Work is amazingly effective—a simple,
straightforward antidote to the suffering we unnecessarily create for
ourselves. She asks us to believe nothing, but provides a surprisingly
effective and simple way to cut through the tangle of delusions we wrap
ourselves in.” David Chadwick
author, Crooked Cucumber: The Life and Zen Teaching of Shunryu Suzuki

“Suppose you could find a simple way
to embrace your life with joy, stop arguing with reality, and achieve
serenity in the midst of chaos. That is what Loving What Is offers. It is
no less than a revolutionary way to live your life. The question is: are we brave
enough to accept it?”
