A Mind at Home with Itself - thrifted book

302 pages - paperback Finding Freedom in a World of Suffering Question your thoughts and find freedom. Byron Katie uses four key questions and the Diamond Sutra - one of the great ancient spiritual texts - to reveal the nature of the mind and how to liberate yourself from painful thoughts: Is it true Can you absolutely know that it's true? How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought? Whou would you be without the thought? In A Mind At Home With Itself, bestselling author and founder of The Work, Byron Katie explains that emotions such as sadness, anger and resentment come from believing our negative thoughts. But when we learn to question those thoughts, they lose their power. And when this happens, our minds are free to turn towards others and ourselves with a spirit of generosity.Byron Katie gives hugely popular workshops every year all over the world, in places like churches, prisons, universities, schools and corporations. She speaks at organisations like Facebook and Stanford University and is also involved with a programme for cancer patients. Charismatic and compassionate, there’s good reason why The Timeshas called her events ‘riveting’, and Time magazine has named her ‘a spiritual innovator for the new millennium’.
