A Mind at Home with Itself by Stephen Mitchell

Internationally acclaimed, bestelling author Byron Katie's most anticipated work since Loving What Is

We live in difficult times, leaving far too many of us suffering from anxiety and depression, fear and anger. In her new and most anticipated work since Loving What Is, beloved spiritual teacher Byron Katie provides a much-needed beacon of light, and a source of hope and joy.

In A Mind at Home with Itself, Byron Katie illuminates one of the most profound ancient Buddhist texts, The Diamond Sutra (newly translated in these pages by Stephen Mitchell) to reveal the nature of the mind and to liberate us from painful thoughts, using her revolutionary system of self-inquiry called The Work. Byron Katie doesn't merely describe the awakened mind; she empowers us to see it and feel it in action. At once startlingly fresh and powerfully enlightening, A Mind at Home with Itself offers us a transformative new perspective on life and death.

In the midst of a normal American life, Byron Katie became increasingly depressed and over a ten-year period sank further into despair and suicidal thoughts. Then one morning in 1986 she woke up in a state of absolute joy, filled with the realization of how her own suffering had ended. The freedom of that realization has never left her. Its direct result, The Work, has helped millions of people all over the world to question their stressful thoughts and set themselves free from suffering.

Byron Katie experienced what she calls waking up to reality in 1986, and since then she has introduced The Work, her method of self-inquiry, to millions of people at public events and in prisons, hospitals, churches, V. A. centers, corporations, universities, and schools. Participants at her nine-day School for The Work and twenty-eight-day residential Turnaround House report profound experiences and lasting transformations. Katie's events are riveting to watch, the Times of London reported. Eckhart Tolle calls The Work a great blessing for our planet. And Time magazine named Katie a spiritual innovator for the new millennium. Her three bestselling books are Loving What Is, I Need Your Love--Is That True?, and A Thousand Names for Joy.
