I agree with many of the concepts that Ms. Katie presents. I think, however, that "The Work" would be almost impossible without help from a therapist. Very interesting.

OMG! The book is absolute GARBAGE! The cornerstone of this book is that pretty much nothing is real and that any and everything bad that someone else does to us really isn't bad and if it were bad it is really our fault. Byron Katie actually gets a woman who was repeatedly raped by her father to ask herself how SHE abused Father. Vile and despicable!

Katie, as most of her friends call her, has written this book which is a breath of fresh air in the self-help world. Katie is what she says she is - someone who found a profound but simple method of bringing peace to the mind. Her method of four simple questions is cutting edge. You can hear cognitive relief brought to minds burdoned by their (the mind's) own generation of dischord.

The book in audible format presents actual Katie interactions with real people doing what Katie describes as "The Work". Quickly, the listener knows Katie is on to something that every person seeks. Amazingly, Katie found this method herself after her own mental pain and life challenge. The listener is instructed how to do "The Work" and benefit from the four simple question's transformative power.

The audio program can really help you in YOUR life. She tells us there are only 3 kinds of business 1)Your Business 2)Others Business 3)God's Business - YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS IS ALL THAT IS FOR YOU! You can help disect what is for you and BE AWARE! Simple and easy, my wife and I listened to this one together and IT WAS MAGIC!!!

I usually don't leave a review for audible books, but I fall compelled to leave one for this because the book which was overall okay, however when the lady who had been raped needed to turn it around and say that she wanted to be raped almost in a way I was appalled because this was a child who had been raped and she didn't know any better she was innocent, so I was little bit shocked that this was in the story because rape is never anyone's fault. I don't believe people want to get raped. Moreover, to say that the rapist was innocent as well and say he just wanted love was disturbing and disgusting that was a little girl. she said the little girl wanted it because she didn't tell anyone a lot of rape victims just feel shame.

Also the book was very repetitive the good stuff literally came in the last 30 minutes of the book. I would say you should buy the if you want to live in a state of being delusional. The book is not very practical for day to day .

Participants volume is so low and Byron Katie is so loud that you either have to blast the volume in the car to hear the full conversation or miss a lot of what is being said.

Either way I found Byron Katie's use of the phrases such as "oh honey" and her constant snorting chuckles very annoying. So much so that I was unable to focus on her message and abandoned the book. I have been an audible member since they launched and this will be the first book I will ask for a refund on.

I love self help books, but this one was definitely NOT for me. I wish I didn't buy it. :(

As far as self help books, this was one of the top books.

I like how concise some of the key points were, and I can recall them in my daily life.
I also laughed at some of the dialog, because she does a good job of finding the humor in how our minds work and how ridiculous our personal expectations can be. There were a few points made that I did not relate to, but that is ok. I think you could do a second read, and sort through some of approaches in more depth.

This audiobook is even better than the actual book. It includes actual live conversations between Katie and participants in her workshops doing "the work". Some of the stories and experiences people have gone through are so disturbing they will leave you shocked - be prepared! But it's worth it. It powerfully demonstrates the power of Katie's process. It they can use this to work through those experiences and achieve peace - there's no question it can impact most of our typical day to day anxieties.
I also enjoyed getting to know Katie through listening to her interact with people. What a beautiful, joyful, innocent, lovely human being. Do not miss this book. Buy it even if you have read the book. It will leave you transformed!

A down to earth real way to address our "demons", who really are inreality ourselves is disguise. A Wonderful book of self discovery and freedom ... It really is all about us afterall.
