An Invitation to Inquiry


WELCOME TO THE WORK

I discovered that when I believed my thoughts I suffered, but 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. And I invite you not to believe me. I invite you to test it
for yourself.

Revised Edition


LOVING WHAT IS


In 2003, Byron Katie first introduced the world to The Work with the publication
of Loving What Is. Nearly twenty years later, Loving What Is continues to
inspire people all over the world to do The Work; to listen to the answers they
find inside themselves; and to open their minds to profound, spacious, and
life-transforming insights. The Work is simply four questions that, when applied
to a specific problem, enable you to see what is troubling you in an entirely
different light.





A SIMPLE YET POWERFUL PRACTICE

As we do The Work of Byron Katie, not only do we remain alert to our stressful
thoughts—the ones that cause all the anger, sadness, and frustration in our
world—but we question them, and through that questioning the thoughts lose their
power over us. Great spiritual texts describe the what—what it means to be free.
The Work is the how. It shows you exactly how to identify and question any
thought that would keep you from that freedom.

How to do The Work


THE PRACTICE

Every step of The Work is meditation. To begin, drop into stillness and observe
what arises in the mind's eye. Now, allow The Work to work you.

More Detailed Guidance


NOTICE

Who or what upsets, angers, or saddens you? Why? Recall a specific situation.

Painful emotions are the temple bells that wake you up to tell you, "It's time
to do The Work."


WRITE

Capture your stressful thoughts on a Worksheet using short, simple sentences.

Once the mind is stopped on paper, thoughts remain stable and inquiry can easily
be applied.


QUESTION

Isolate and question one thought—allow authentic answers to arise.

A question is an invitation to the mind, an opportunity to be shown what is
true, beyond what we think we know.


TURN IT AROUND

Find opposites of the thought. Are they as true as or truer than the original
thought?

The turnarounds give consciousness an opportunity to expand, rather than being
stuck in a limited reality.


Witness The Work


VIDEO LIBRARY

Videos offer a way to become familiar with The Work. As you watch, be still and
tune in to a similar moment in your life. Notice what arises in your mind. It is
possible to do your own Work as you witness other people’s Work. You may come to
find that there are no new stressful thoughts.

“Byron Katie’s Work is a great blessing for our planet. It acts like a
razor-sharp sword that cuts through illusion and enables you to know for
yourself the timeless essence of your being.”

Eckhart Tolle

“A spiritual innovator for the new millennium.”

Time Magazine

“Byron Katie has rocked my world and shaken loose my mind more thoroughly than
any other spiritual teacher I’ve ever encountered, living or dead. Using her
simple process called The Work, I have managed to liberate myself from thoughts
and beliefs that had brought me years of suffering, and that I had honestly
feared would never leave me.”

Elizabeth Gilbert

“Byron Katie is an immeasurable gift to the world.”

Martha Beck

“Beyond addressing/dissolving psychological tendencies such as anger and
depression, The Work has the singular power to dissolve all beliefs. Undoing one
belief at a time, its ultimate impact can dislodge the very center-pole of ego,
leading to the realization of who or what we truly are. That is, The Work can
bring us home to our true nature, which is universal love, profound wisdom, and
freedom from all suffering. ”

Jonathan Herrick, LCSW, psychotherapist and former Buddhist practitioner

“Katie’s events are riveting. Her laser-like tough love burns away all
illusions.”
