Byron Katie
Byron Katie, founder of The Work, has one job: to teach people how to end their own suffering. As she guides people through the powerful process of inquiry she calls The Work, they find that their stressful beliefs—about life, other people, or themselves—radically shift and their lives are changed forever.
"A thought is harmless unless we believe it. It’s not our thoughts, but our attachment to our thoughts,
that causes suffering. Attaching to a thought means believing that it’s true, without inquiring.
A belief is a thought that we’ve been attaching to, often for years." - Byron Katie
