Byron Katie

 is one of the truly great and inspiring teachers of our time. She has been enormously helpful to me personally. I love this very wise woman, and I encourage everyone to immerse themselves in this phenomenal book.” —Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

“A Thousand Names for Joy is a vivid and powerful portrait of the awakened mind. I am captivated by Katie’s clear mind and loving heart, which offer the world a simple process to find joy. Who knew? Katie did, and what a blessing she offers to us all.”
—Iyanla Vanzant, founder, Inner Visions Institute

“Katie’s teachings and everyday life are pure wisdom. A Thousand Names for Joy shows us the way to inner peace, and she directs us there fearlessly, relentlessly, and with utmost generosity. I have rarely seen anyone—spiritual teachers included—embody wisdom as powerfully as Katie in her passionate embrace of each and every moment.” —R¯oshi Bernie Glassman

A Thousand Names for Joy: Living in Harmony with the Way Things Are

We tend to think of Great Spiritual Leaders in the past tense. They are almost always Male. Image-wise, they are usually bearded men who lived long ago in some far away place and said some very wise things, especially when they were about to die.
We are so very fortunate -- those of us who are alive in this moment, those of us who are reading these words -- because in OUR lifetime and from OUR culture comes a wise person who has a simple formula which, when followed, guarantees the end of suffering! Her name is Byron Katie and as far as I can tell, she has no ego. It disappeared one day in 1986, leaving behind only clear vision and a love of Reality.
I was given Katie's first book, LOVING WHAT IS, in the summer of 2004 when I was deep in depression, blinded with emotional pain. Since that time, by doing The Work, I have opened myself to a joyous, fantastically exciting life. I have read just about everything Katie has written, and also attended The School for the Work, several Intensives, and more.
