Story
No matter how much money, status, professional success, or other types of external security one may have, very few people experience true joy and personal freedom. Byron Katie knows this reality too well. In the midst of a "normal and successful" life, Katie became increasingly depressed, and over a ten-year period sank further into rage and despair. Then, one morning in 1986, out of the blue, she had a sudden, profound insight into how the mind works.

Story
The Work is simply four questions that, when applied to a specific problem, enable you to see what is troubling you in an entirely different light. As Katie says, "It's not the problem that causes our suffering; it's our thinking about the problem." Contrary to popular belief, trying to let go of a painful thought never works; instead, once we have done The Work, the thought lets go of us. At that point we can truly love what is, just as it is.

As Martha Beck says in her book, “Integrity is the cure for psychological suffering. Period.” In The Way of Integrity, Beck presents a four-stage process that anyone can use to find integrity, and with it, a sense of purpose, emotional healing, and a life free of mental suffering. Much of what plagues us - people pleasing, staying in stale relationships, negative habits - all point to what happens when we are out of touch with what truly makes us feel whole.

Social scientist Brené Brown has ignited a global conversation on courage, vulnerability, shame, and worthiness. Her pioneering work uncovered a profound truth: Vulnerability - the willingness to show up and be seen with no guarantee of outcome - is the only path to more love, belonging, creativity, and joy. But living a brave life is not always easy: We are, inevitably, going to stumble and fall. It is the rise from falling that Brown takes as her subject in Rising Strong.

Publisher's Summary
The usual advice offered in self-help books and reinforced by our culture advocates a stressful, all-consuming quest for love and approval. We are advised to learn self-marketing and manipulative skills: how to attract, impress, seduce, and often pretend to be something we aren't. This approach doesn't work. It leaves millions of walking wounded, those who, having failed to find love or appreciation, blame themselves and conclude that they are unworthy of love.
I Need Your Love, Is That True? helps you illuminate every area in your life where you seem to lack what you long for most; the love of your spouse, the respect of your child, a lover's tenderness, or the esteem of your boss. Through its penetrating inquiry, you will quickly discover the falseness of the accepted ways of seeking love and approval, and also of the mythology that equates love with need. Using the method in this book, you will inquire into painful beliefs that you've based your whole life on, and be delighted to see them evaporate. Katie shows you how unraveling the knots in the search for love, approval, and appreciation brings real love and puts you in charge of your own happiness.

What did you love best about I Need Your Love, Is That True??
The interesting exercises that are very provokative of honest inquiry
Would you recommend I Need Your Love, Is That True? to your friends? Why or why not?
No, I would recommend, "Loving What Is"
THe down side of this audio is that the personal examples were staged, acted out. THis took away from the genuineness for me. When I listened to , "loving what is" the live interviews were what blew me away, as I could experience the genuineness and was deeply moved. Having these interviews staged, even though they were real, did take away a great deal from my ability to receive them well. Since Katie's approach is so radical, I need the live stuff to make it real for me.
What did you learn from I Need Your Love, Is That True? that you would use in your daily life?
I am already using her exercises in my daily life. I really, really like the places they take me, toward greater levels of honesty.
Any additional comments?
Byron Katie's work is worth a second and a third look. There is gold here.

A Life Changing Book
This book has changed my life forever! I look at everything differently today knowing now that most issues are about me and not "the other person." I have listened to this book four complete times, and I look forward to listening to it many more times. If you are truly ready to begin your life journey and forgive yourself for whatever has happened in the past, you will feel blessed to have found this book. I am a reader of spiritual and self development books, and this book is the best!

Lifesaving
Katie’s clear and original thinking are soothing and freeing. Just to hear her prayer, God spare me from the desire for love and approval, started a process of internal work reversing a lifetime of approval seeking that has blinded me to the love that’s already in my life in favor of something unattainable and inappropriate. Freedom.
