Book Reviews of Loving What Is: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life
Book Review: A thoroughly irritating book designed for emotional illiterates
Summary: 1 Stars
I became so irritated with this book that I felt like throwing it at the cat, which I would never do, because I love the cat. The conversations in it were with people who were quite unbelievably immature and emotionally illiterate and Katie patronises them horribly by constantly calling them "sweetheart" , when what they needed, to my mind, was a sharp kick up the backside. It is glaringly obvious that it is just stupid to create problems for oneself by failing to relate sympathetically to other people when there are real problems out there over which we have no control, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, droughts, epidemics and sudden death from accident or disease. My reactions to the book were Yuck - get a brain! and why are some Americans so simplistic? Book Review: Loving What Is - Byron Katie
Summary: 5 Stars
I whole heartedly agree with the previous reviewers..this book too has profoundly changed my life ! I have read quite a few self help books but Katie I have found is the only one so far that puts things in a real simple and down to earth manner. Not some airy fairy spiritual thing...the only way really for people to gain clarity over their seemingly negative ways is to discover the truth for themselves and this she does so brilliantly. I found The Power Of Now life transforming, this goes even beyond that..for those who still don't quite "get it" with the likes of Tolle, Dwyer, Virtue and so many others, including Law of Attraction books, they should definately give this book a go. I am also in the process of ordering her other books. She is truly a gift to the world and also the way in which she interacts with people, on their level, from prisoners to Chief Execs...amazing...BUY THIS BOOK !
