Summary
Byron Katie states: "It's not the problem that causes our suffering; it's our thinking about the problem." Her book introduces a concept called "The Work": four questions that, when applied to a specific problem, enable an individual to see what is troubling him or her in an entirely different light. This book shows the reader--step by step--through clear and vivid examples, exactly how to use this revolutionary process.
Review
The Work is basically a fleshed-out version of the idea that you can't change or control anyone else; all you can really control is your own thoughts and feelings. Since it is a concept I have tried to live by for years, this book wasn't revelatory. However, I can see how reading it and applying these principles could easily be life changing for some.
