Summary

I worked in the entertainment industry for 17 years, and I grew jaded to being starstruck… but this episode is a dream come true for me. I got to sit down with Byron Katie, whose work and story helped me pick myself up & transform my life.

Katie, creator of The Work, is driven by a single mission: teaching people how to end their own suffering.

Katie found herself at the bottom of a ten-year spiral when 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.

Now, Katie guides people through a powerful process of inquiry she calls The Work, in which anyone can find their stressful beliefs about life, other people, or themselves & radically shift them. The result is a life changed forever.

The Work is an astonishingly simple process – as you’ll hear in this episode – accessible to anyone at any age and from any background; all you need is an open mind.

Even from the darkest depths of suffering and loss, anyone can learn to trace unhappiness to its source and deal with it there – trust me.

Take these tools, open your mind, and set yourself free.

–Luke
