KATIE’S BIO 							
Byron Katie, founder of The Work, has one job: to teach people how to
end their own suffering. When Katie appears, lives change. As she guides
people through her simple and powerful process of inquiry, called The
Work, they find again and again that their stressful beliefs-about life,
other people, or themselves-radically shift.  Through this process,
anyone can learn to identify and question the thoughts that cause them
pain. Katie not only teaches that all the problems in the world
originate in our thinking: she gives us the tool to open our minds and
set ourselves free.
It has been her heart's desire and tireless privilege to Work with
hundreds of thousands of people at free public events, in prisons,
hospitals, churches, corporations, universities, and schools.
Participants at her weekend intensives and her unparalleled nine-day
School for The Work report profound experiences and lasting
transformations. “Katie’s events are riveting to watch,” the Times
of London reported. Eckhart Tolle calls The Work “a blessing for our
planet.” And Time magazine named Katie a “spiritual innovator for
the new millennium.”
Byron Katie is the author of the bestselling books Loving What Is and I
Need Your Love-Is That True? Her new book, A Thousand Names for Joy:
Living in Harmony with the Way Things Are, will be published in
February. On her website, www.thework.com, you will find her blog, her
schedule, a network of facilitators, a free hotline, audio and video
clips, articles, and basic information about Katie and The Work,
including free materials to download.
