Resumen del Editor

In Loving What Is, best-selling author Byron Katie introduced thousands of people to her simple and profound method of finding happiness through questioning the mind. Now, I Need Your Love, Is That True? examines a universal, age-old source of anxiety: our relationships with others. In this groundbreaking book, Katie helps you question everything you have been taught to do to gain love and approval. In doing this, you discover how to find genuine love and connection.

The usual advice offered in self-help books and reinforced by our culture advocates a stressful, all-consuming quest for love and approval. We are advised to learn self-marketing and manipulative skills: how to attract, impress, seduce, and often pretend to be something we aren't. This approach doesn't work. It leaves millions of walking wounded, those who, having failed to find love or appreciation, blame themselves and conclude that they are unworthy of love.

I Need Your Love, Is That True? helps you illuminate every area in your life where you seem to lack what you long for most; the love of your spouse, the respect of your child, a lover's tenderness, or the esteem of your boss. Through its penetrating inquiry, you will quickly discover the falseness of the accepted ways of seeking love and approval, and also of the mythology that equates love with need. Using the method in this book, you will inquire into painful beliefs that you've based your whole life on, and be delighted to see them evaporate. Katie shows you how unraveling the knots in the search for love, approval, and appreciation brings real love and puts you in charge of your own happiness.

Where does I Need Your Love, Is That True? rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I listen to this and A Thousand names for Joy over and over. I love to listen to Katie.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Most helpful in thinking differently, to see all things as for you, not against you.

Perfection

I love this book, the author and the narrator. I find listening to a book with the author narrating lends more depth of the information..
I have this book in hard copy and on ebooks.. this information is priceless

Great content but don't like the mock sessions

SImilar to all Katie's book, this one is a great one. The focus on approval is the main theme and is an important one to address given that many are tied up to the approval issue, especially with the online virtual communities. Just didn't like the mock up dialogue sessions. It feels dry and no feeling. That somehow diminishes the impact of the content a little.

Life changing

To know that my thinking is what separates me from peace also gives me the solution to any struggle. This book shares a way to discover the truth behind any stressful thought. Thank you !

Lifesaving

Katie’s clear and original thinking are soothing and freeing. Just to hear her prayer, God spare me from the desire for love and approval, started a process of internal work reversing a lifetime of approval seeking that has blinded me to the love that’s already in my life in favor of something unattainable and inappropriate. Freedom.

Life-changing

If you could sum up I Need Your Love, Is That True? in three words, what would they be?

Her work is very thought-provoking. I never thought to look at my negative thoughts like that. This is about approval-seeking, but it can be used in all areas of our lives. I wish it was longer and gave out more examples, because her techniques are quite difficult to understand.

Any additional comments?

Her narration is excellent, but the others were robotic.

One of the most helpful books I've ever listened t

Especially the first half of this book is so deep, beautiful and profound that I nearly had a second awakening because of it. The best so far out of all of Byron Katie's amazingly transformative works.

I Need Your Love, Is That True?

Brilliant! Byron Katie guides us through 'the work' giving the most amazing tool to navigate the tyranny of the egoic mind.

Learn how to really love

This book was just what I needed to see love is everywhere and that searching for it will only cause pain. It breaks co-dependency, makes you independent and teaches you how to love yourself. Great book!

Yay Byron Katie!

What a wonderful insight! This is so simple and so life changing. Yes. Thank you.
