"We live in difficult times, leaving far too many of us suffering from anxiety and depression, fear and anger. The author of Loving What Is, beloved spiritual teacher Byron Katie, provides a much-needed beacon of light, and a source of hope and joy. 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.
