Byron Katie's book, Who Would You Be Without Your Story?, is a collection of 15 dialogues that occurred throughout the United States and Europe.


Who Would You Be Without Your Story?

Tiger-Tiger, Is It True? is a story about a little tiger who thinks that his whole world is falling apart: his parents don’t love him, his friends have abandoned him, and life is unfair. But a wise turtle asks him four questions, and everything changes. He realizes that all his problems are not caused by things, but by his thoughts about things; and that when he questions his thoughts, life becomes wonderful again.


Tiger-Tiger, Is It True?

I've been really helped by the books and concepts of Byron Katie. My boyfriend raped me at gunpoint in October of last year, and then killed himself. I moved to Vermont from Montana in February to get a fresh start, but it wasn't until I read Byron Katie's book, "Loving What Is," that I really could begin to allow that to be in the past. I now have more appreciation for my life than I've ever had.
- K.R.


Never before was the psychology of others and especially myself so clear to me as it was this last week since I started watching Katie's conversations and reading her book Loving What Is.  No teacher before, including the greatest of spiritual teachers, has introduced to the world such a simple and effective way to go from hell to heaven.  Any innocent heart in the whole world can take the unbelievably simple tools and work his or her way to freedom. Free at last, free at last, free at last!
Letter from Israel


Hello,
I am writing as spokesperson for a bookclub in the south of Sweden. We are five women in our best years who read a lot and talk about the books and the authors. We have just read your book,
Loving What Is, and even the ones in the group who generally don't read such books were in awe of the content, and now when a thing has come up, which is of no business of ours really, we say; It is not our domain. :-)
So few words and so much content.

We are great fans of your way of thinking. I have to admit that we probably haven't come as far mentally, but we are in working progress. Thank you for a great book and a great influence in the world.
–M.G., Sweden

“A spiritual innovator for
the new millennium.”
TIME magazine

“Katie's laser-like 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

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 urologist 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.’"

“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?”
Erica Jong
