Byron Katie

Byron Katie is an an amazingly wise and generous person who has a simple and effective method of turning the stresses in your life around. I can't speak highly enough of the work and seeing her in person was life changing.

There are many videos you can watch on The Work on her website and others on youtube.com and a great podcast interview that had a huge impact on me personally.

From her website:

"Byron Katie, founder of The Work, has one job: to teach people how to end their own suffering. As she guides people through powerful process of inquiry, called The Work, they find that their stressful beliefs—about life, other people, or themselves— radically shift and their lives are changed forever."

Ashley reccomends the book Loving What Is

Byron Katie has a book called Loving What Is...Lots of interviews with people that she does the work with as well as an interview with her where she talks about how to be present with really tough issues--murder of a loved one, incest, rape, surviving the holocaust, etc. This is not just a technique for the little stuff, it can be applied to any situation, as long as the participant has an open mind!
