Book Reviews of Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life
Book Review: This book WILL save your LIFE!
Summary: 5 Stars
PLEASE read this book. It is a revelation! I read this book then went on one of Byron Katie's Schools for The Work (read the book to see what this is) and I absolutely have never, ever experienced happiness, true bliss and joy like it! Katie is the truest embodiment of love I have ever met and if you read the book, and do the work, you will be ASTONISHED by how much peace and JOY will come into your heart and your life!For me the Audio CDs were even better, hearing Katie doing The Work in person has to be heard - it truly is a miracle!!!
Book Review: LIFE CHANGING STUFF INDEED!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was extremely sceptical when I first came across this book having read numerous others of this genre but I can honestly say this book blew me away....its effects were dramatic and I just felt as if huge shift had occurred in my general outlook which I now recognize is irreversible. I was about half way through the book when I realised I had just "got it", (something akin to the proverbial penny dropping)and now I can't imagine how I could have lived in such darkness before this light was switched on - it's effects really are as dramatic as that! I now KNOW that I consciously choose to be happy or otherwose and that that is all entirely within my power and I find it incredible that I just didn't see this truth before - this truth which is so blindingly obvious - and which once seen cannot be unseen any more than I could "unlearn" how to swim or ride a bike! My family and friends have all noticed a huge change in me - I have become easy-going, calm and at peace...previously I was often moody, snappy with everyone (including my husband and 3 young children), driven and resentful - basically in conflict with reality. I have just ordered another 3 of these books for friends who are all curious about my "secret". Katie can save us from ourselves, waking us up to the fact that we can be our own worst enemies. I owe her a huge debt of gratitude!Book Review: This book will help you to stop hurting..

Like many of the other reviewers of this book, I too had read too many self-help books, and books about spirituality in general. I'd gotten to the point where I could appreciate the ideas of such books intellectually, but when it came to learning how to apply the seemingly abstract ideas that I had formed on my search to the problems (I thought) I had in my own life, I was still as lost as ever. But then I read this book and soon I was discovering the wisdom and beauty of life within myself, in places I never would have expected to find it! It has shown me how to make friends with the worst that could happen and it has freed me from the thoughts that have told me a false story about myself for all of my life, up till now.I remember coming across this book in a shop a while ago. I picked it up and flicked through and it decided there and then that it wasn't for me, the ideas in it seemed too simple, not intellectual enough. Then one day I came across a review for another book on Amazon that mentioned this book and the Work of Byron Katie and, intrigued and ever hopeful, I ordered the book. I'm so thankful for that reviewer now because when I read the book properly, and actually tried the excercises inside, I realised that I had discovered a way to potentially transend all of my problems and to find the happiness and joy in each moment that I had been searching for and missing all along. If you think you might need this book, or if you just want to find out what all the fuss is about, then just buy it, and then maybe soon other people will be reading your reviews for it!
Book Review: Changes you before you finish the book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had this book recommended to me and after reading the raving positive reviews thought that I'd give it a try. Wow.. this is such a good book that I cannot recommend it highly enough. I have been in therapy for over three years, after an abusive childhood and violent husband, and I can honestly say that this book was equally (if not more) powerful in changing the way I think just a third of the way into it. I have read many self-help books and this is genuinely the one that actually changes the way that you think and see things that have happened to you in the past and helps you feel calm about whatever happens to you in the fuure. It helped a good female friend of mine too but one word of caution.. I gave it to two male friends and they couln't get on with it. Maybe because it is dialogue based? it may be more suited to women. Katie takes Buddhist philosopies and makes them so easy to understand. An excellent book that if it works for you will completely change you for ever.Book Review: Brilliant book.

Someone lent me this book last week and I have found it amazingly good. It is based on the fact that everything we feel is a projection outwards, so that instead of feeling emotions like hatred for other people, we can turn the feelings round and realise that the answer to all problems is inside ourselves.
