A Mind at Home with Itself

How Asking Four Questions Can Free Your Mind, Open Your Heart, and Turn Your World Around

De: Byron Katie, Stephen Mitchell

Narrado por: Byron Katie, Stephen Mitchell, Pete Simonelli, Madeleine Maby

Internationally acclaimed best-selling author Byron Katie's most anticipated work since Loving What Is.

In A Mind at Home with Itself, Byron Katie illuminates one of the most profound ancient Buddhist texts, The Diamond Sutra (newly translated by distinguished scholar Stephen Mitchell), to reveal the nature of the mind and to liberate us from painful thoughts, using her revolutionary system of self-inquiry called "The Work". Byron Katie doesn't merely describe the awakened mind; she empowers us to see it and feel it in action. At once startlingly fresh and powerfully enlightening, A Mind at Home with Itself offers us a transformative new perspective on life and death and is certain to become a classic.

In the midst of a normal American life, Byron Katie became increasingly depressed and, over a 10-year period, sank further into despair and suicidal thoughts. Then, one morning in 1986, she woke up in a state of absolute joy, filled with the realization of how her own suffering had ended. The freedom of that realization has never left her. Its direct result, The Work, has helped millions of people all over the world to question their stressful thoughts and set themselves free from suffering.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Simply magnificent

This author brings so much light and understanding to your own thoughts. She also teaches you how to navigate through your own thoughts and understand how you are treating others due to the thoughts that you are believing. She explains in detail how to break free from the very ideas that form your thoughts in the first place. Highly recommend this book.

Fabulous

If you’re wanting to find the peace within yourself and change your world, this work is a necessity. And the fact this book is read by the author provides the extra level of connection I was hoping for. It’s a wonderful book, I only wish I would have read her book much sooner. Thankful for these teachings and support and love by Byron Katie.

beautiful

This was an awesome book. The steps she describes to take for the work and doing internal inquiry can be a game changer if you practice them.

Do not be discouraged!

Some concepts are beyond my grasp, while I get it logically, making the practice a way of life feels a little more daunting but what a lovely message to share with the world, thank you

powerful listen

I put listening off for months after purchasing but am so happy to finally listen. The Work is a powerful practice in thought awareness.

The work transforms lives

There are parts that are very eye-opening that I enjoyed getting to learn and would recommend this to anyone

Dramatic mental shifts

I’ve encountered Byron Katie’s Work before, but I didn’t understand it until this book. Inquiry has changed my life in profound ways.

Better in audio

I couldn’t make it through “Loving What Is,” so thought I’d give this a try. Very powerful! I was able to understand The Work better as Byron Katie explains it here. This audio book is full of excellent content but also like a peaceful reverie or meditation as you listen. I highly recommend this powerful and wise book.

I loved it. I keep.returning to it & it feels new.

the narrator is fafantastic and clear. It is the clearest book I heard & gifted myself.

Good listening

I enjoyed getting the perspective on universal truths. The story without a story calms my mind and go
Eli’s me let go. The now becomes the past fast, we need to learn to let go faster… quicker and more efficient than we have ever been.
I can see how some people came five a five star review… but when you are ready to do the work this is a great listening and beautiful perspective on forgiveness and unconditional love.
