The Work of Byron Katie
The Work is a simple yet powerful process of inquiry that teaches you to identify and question the thoughts that cause all of your suffering. It’s a way to understand what’s hurting you, and to address the cause of your problems with clarity.
Byron Katie's Story
In 1986, at the bottom of a ten-year fall into depression, anger, and addiction, Byron Katie woke up one morning and realized that all suffering comes from believing our thoughts. She realized that when she believed her stressful thoughts, she suffered, but that when she questioned them, she didn’t suffer, and that this is true for every human being.

Bryon Katie"I discovered that when I believed my thoughts, I suffered, but that when I didn't believe them, I didn't suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Freedom is as simple as that. I found that suffering is optional. I found a joy within me that has never disappeared, not for a single moment. That joy is in everyone, always."— Byron Katie
