This book is a collection of 15 dialogues that occurred throughout the United States and Europe with Byron Katie. Some of the people who worked with Katie have painful illnesses, others are lovelorn or in messy divorces. Some are simply irritated with a co-worker or worried about money. What they all have in common is a willingness to question, with Katie's help, the painful thoughts that are the true cause of their suffering. In every case we see how Katie's acute mind and fierce kindness helps each person dismantle for themselves what is felt to be unshakable reality.Although these dialogues make fascinating reading--some are both hilarious and deeply moving at once--they are intended primarily as teaching tools. Each took place in front of an audience, and Katie never lost connection with that audience, repeatedly reminding each person in the room to follow the dialogues inwardly, asking themselves the questions the participant must ask. The dialogue between Katie and these volunteers is an external enactment of precisely the kind of dialogue each person can have with their own thoughts. The results, even in the seemingly most dire situation, can be unimagined freedom and joy.
This was the one book by Katie that I didn't have! Now I do.........she is AMAZING!

Well, Byron Katie is great, her dialogs are great, her compassion and humor are a gift. It is a joy to learn The Work with her books.
I have all of her books and audio sets too

If you've never heard of Byron Katie I highly recommend reading her books. She is an amazing person. This particular book is a transcript of her converstions with people who have filled out an inquiry worksheet. I can read the same converstion again and again and get instant insight into my own stories that I'm believing. I savor every dialog. I am so grateful to have learned about inquiry--so much so that I am filling out this survey!
