Meeting The Work showed me for the first time in my life the option I have to believe or not to believe my thoughts – understanding this option opened new worlds for me.

I love The Work, its simplicity and I love that it doesn’t require anything of me other than the willingness to answer the four simple questions. I always felt all I needed to know was inside me, I never connected to gurus or any other people who thought they had the answers for me. I knew the answers were in me and I didn’t know how to find them - The Work gave me the way to my answers.

I would love to share with you the many ways The Work has influenced my life. It allowed me to love my face after two years of hating it every time I looked at it or even thought about it. I have facial paralysis on one side caused by a virus (Bells Palsy). Today my face is still paralyzed in some areas and I no longer have a problem with that.

Working on the thought “I am a failure” allowed me to start my own business and produce big events, both things I always wanted to do but didn’t because I was sure I would fail.

The Work allowed me to be able to really listen to my parents. Working on the thought “they don’t understand me” made me see I never really tried to understand them. Through doing The Work I also learned that listening doesn’t mean I have to accept their opinion, but by listening with an open heart I found and still find some really good advices in their words.

I dealt a lot with the issue of wanting to become a mother and not succeeding as fast as I wanted. Today I embrace Jonathan, my adorable son, who came to this world through IVF procedure. Going through that procedure I had a lot of stressful thoughts and I thank God I have The Work with me.

I also find The Work as a tremendous power in my relationship with my husband. For the first time in my life I am not running away when things get tough and this is very new and powerful for me. I also find The Work is one of the best ways to find real intimacy in every relationship in my life, including the one with myself.

I love doing The Work with people in private sessions, meeting, one-on-one or over the phone. I give courses and workshops in ISRAEL and other places in the world when I am invited which deal with body and relationship issues. I see The Work as a gift I received and a gift that everyone deserves to get. I will, therefore, try to pass it on to as many people as I can.

I would love you to contact me in any issue concerning The Work.

The Work in Action


"I'm too fat"

-------

“A spiritual innovator for
the new millennium.”
TIME

-------

“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
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?”
Erica Jong

author, Fear of Flying
