Happy summer! Fr. Nathan is taking a few weeks off from recording The Joyful Friar Podcast. During this time, we will replay the most-watched episodes!

Enjoy this episode of Fr. Nathan and Byron Katie unedited as they discuss her work: "The Work" of Byron Katie is an introspective method that stems from Katie's personal experience. This practice enables you to tap into the wisdom that inherently resides within you.                          
 
In 1986, at the bottom of a ten-year spiral into depression and self-loathing, Byron Katie woke up one morning in a state of joy. She realized that when she believed her stressful thoughts, she suffered, but that when she questioned them, she didn’t suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Her simple yet powerful process of self-inquiry, which she calls The Work, consists of four questions and the turnaround, which is a way of experiencing the opposite of what you believe. Byron Katie has been bringing The Work to millions of people for more than thirty years.

Her books include the bestselling "Loving What Is" now in a revised edition, 
"I Need Your Love—Is That True?",  "A Thousand Names for Joy", and "A Mind at Home with Itself". https://thework.com/books/
