Katie does "The Work" with audience members on a wide variety of relationship issues, including jealousy, blame, sex, communication, judgment, parenting, abuse, closure, and much more.

"The Work" on Relationships:
"I need (her) love and appreciation to be happy."

"The Work" on Mother:
"She would not approve if I became a singer."

"The Work" on "playing the boss":
"He should not order me around." Including a live German translation.

One woman, frightened and sad, can't find how to leave her abusive husband when he threatens and intimidates her. Another woman gleefully contemplates strangling the men who don't make her happy.

For years, this woman believed her mother to be critical and disapproving of her; after doing The Work, she came to see her mother's true love for her. (With live Dutch translation)

Previously available on video, this program (re-edited and remastered as an audio release) features a man's deep work on his wife's leaving him, because she finds him repulsive. Also included is a new piece by a woman about the boyfriend who left her.

The Work on Relationships, The Work on Parents, and The Work on Money and Career.

At the School for The Work, each day begins with a meditation. "Meditation is a word for being still and taking some time to notice the kindness and support of reality," Katie says.

These meditations are designed to help you notice your thoughts, even the angry, scary, and sad ones.

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. As Katie says, "It's not the problem that causes our suffering; it's our thinking about the problem." Contrary to popular belief, trying to let go of a painful thought never works; instead, once we have done The Work, the thought lets go of us. At that point we can truly love what is, just as it is.

Stephen Mitchell, the renowned translator of the Tao Te Ching, selected excerpts from that ancient text as a stimulus for Byron Katie to talk about the most essential issues that face us all: life and death, good and evil, love, work, and fulfillment. The result is an audiobook that allows the timeless insights of the Tao Te Ching to resonate anew for us today, while offering a vivid and illuminating glimpse into the life of someone who lives what Lao-tzu wrote more than 2,500 years ago.

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.
