Out of nowhere, like a fresh breeze in a marketplace crowded with advice on what to believe, comes Byron Katie and what she calls "The Work". In the midst of a normal life, Katie became increasingly depressed. Then one morning, 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, and now, in Loving What Is, you can discover the same freedom through The Work.

This program is an excellent sampling of The Work, covering topics like cancer, relationships, abuse, and body issues. With live German translation.

This program, recorded live, includes The Work on Mother: "My mother should be happy", and The Work on Husband: "I am going to leave my husband."

Katie does "The Work" with audience members on a wide variety of relationship issues, including jealousy, blame, sex, communication, judgment, parenting, abuse, closure, and much more.
