Byron Katie is better than a drug

What did you love best about A Mind at Home with Itself?

She doesn’t talk down to you. You get to experience firsthand, through others, what it is like to transform your life. To go from pain to joy.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

You can hear the love in her voice.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from A Mind at Home with Itself?

Her message is all you have to know to have a happy life. It can be summarized by the title from an earlier book. Loving What Is. If you can do that, you are guaranteed happiness.

Any additional comments?

No matter what is going on or what kind of trauma I am experiencing, I just listen to her books over and over and Katie brings me right back to center and a place of peace and joy. I have seen her and believe her to be the most loving human I have met. If you have not done the work, it can even sound harsh, but it is only when you are unwilling to take responsibility for your own life and happiness. When you do, you can be filled with joy.

Wow

This book has helped me turn from someone who was convinced that my mind was trying to destroy me, to the point I tried to strangle myself. There seemed to be a small soft voice inside telling me that I had a reason to live. So my attempt was half-assed. Through the Work I have quieted the noise and can now hear my authentic self, who only wants growth, progress, joy and love. I can easily recognize the primitive voices that are stuck in stressful survival mode, who just want instant gratification, pleasure, and pain avoidance. I now look at those voices as if they are a toddler. My wife and I both are so grateful that Byron Katie has come into my life 😌🙏

I feel at peace with life

I noticed my ego and my attachment to thoughts slowly start to dissolve while reading this book, and other Byron katie works. Absolutely lifechanging.

For everyone everywhere

It’s great listening to Bryon Katie while doing my work or other chores.
Most of the time what she is saying is so compelling that I have to stop and listen, or I go back and listen again.

Amazingly insightful and authentic. The Work works. It’s wonderful. I highly recommend this book to everyone I know.

Too much Steven

While I’m sure he’s a fabulous guy. I want to learn more from Katie. Steven seems to be using her unbiased and pure platform to push this sutra and Buddhism on me. I just wanted more of Katie. Love you Katie

Bizarre

I have enjoyed Byron Katie's other books and teachings but am definitely returning this one. I have gritted through about half and can't go on. Threadless...very esoteric...just couldn't engage at all. Actually found it uncomfortable to listen to because of how bizarre it was, and I usually can find something useful to take away from most all books in this genre.

Good info but a bit "out there"

I thought there were a lot of really strong points to this book. I also thought that the process of the work is really, really solid. I think it is an excellent way to change your perspective on life, circumstances, situations, and relationships. that said, maybe it is because I am not there yet on my own personal journey of discovery, some of the concepts thoughts that she talks about in the seem a bit out there. so, while there was a lot of really great info and insight, if you are a bit more of a skeptic like me, you will have to wade through some of her more free flowing concepts and ideas. overall, though, I feel like the index and the sections on the work in action are the most powerful of the book for anyone who is interested in applying more self-reflection to their life situations.

fantastic book, rereading it right away

Loved that it was read by the authors. If you like Byron Katie's Work, you'll love this book. It builds on the previous books and is a wonderful crowning jewel of BK's writings.
