Internationally acclaimed, bestelling author Byron Katie's most
anticipated work since Loving What Is
We live in difficult times, leaving far too many of us suffering from
anxiety and depression, fear and anger. In her new and most anticipated
work since Loving What Is, beloved spiritual teacher Byron Katie
provides a much-needed beacon of light, and a source of hope and joy.
In A Mind at Home with Itself, Byron Katie illuminates one of the most
profound ancient Buddhist texts, The Diamond Sutra (newly translated
in these pages by 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. At once
startlingly fresh and powerfully enlightening, A Mind at Home with
Itself offers us a transformative new perspective on life and death.
In the midst of a normal American life, Byron Katie became increasingly
depressed and over a ten-year period sank further into despair and
suicidal thoughts. Then one morning in 1986 she woke up in a state of
absolute joy, filled with the realization of how her own suffering had
ended. The freedom of that realization has never left her. Its direct
result, The Work, has helped millions of people all over the world to
question their stressful thoughts and set themselves free from
suffering.
