A Katie Primer, July 24 2007
By Scully Hudson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Your Inner Awakening: The Work of Byron Katie: Four Questions That Will Transform Your Life (Audio CD)
I am a recent Katie devotee and asked at one of her seminars - where there are a gazillion cds and dvds for sale - which of those gave a basic explanation of "The Work" rather than just Katie in action doing The Work. If you've been to one of her events, you know she doesn't come on stage and explain how one does The Work, it's philosophy and methodology, how she arrived at it, etc. she just starts doing The Work with someone chosen from the sudience. Anyway, the person helping me with sales said there really wasn't one particular disc, but they were obviously uniformed. THIS IS IT! If you are looking to start somewhere with Katie and The Work, and I highly you do, this is a GREAT way to start, (plus going to her web site to watch the videos.) If you have an open mind, you'll never be the same. The Work saved my life; unfortunately, I found it too late to save my relationship. I wish I knew then what I know now. My life and my thinking will never be the same.

Same insights - and why not?, Mar 9 2007
By R. Kurth "Freer than I thought" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Your Inner Awakening: The Work of Byron Katie: Four Questions That Will Transform Your Life (Audio CD)
In a bookstore several years ago, I was reaching for a book by an Indian guru and another book fell off the shelf onto my foot. It was a now out of print bio on Byron Katie called "A Cry in the Desert". I thought Oh yeah, someone told me about her, wow, she's pretty - maybe I'll get this book instead.
Since then I've read all of her books, been with her in person, and have listened to many tapes, and watched a DVD of her facilitating The Work with various people - all with great benefit.
Though the cover photo makes her look ghostly, this 6 CD set is bedrock insight. I especially enjoyed her personal experience references mixed in with relevant work sessions, even one with a little boy that was quite fun. I'll be listening to this set again as I never tire of Katie's wit, wisdom and honesty.
Better still is to be with her in person. Best of all is to earnestly look inside, via The Work (or any way that works), ruthlessly check your stories and beliefs and find the freedom, peace and contentment that has always been just on the other side of struggling.

I have been listening to this CD set for the last couple fo months and ended up going to BK workshop with my husband. If enlightenment could be affordable, this is the case! She is amazing, her approach is simple and profound. The only thing to keep in mind, listening is not enough. You have to get your pen and paper and do the work. All materials are available for free at [...]
