Summary

Internationally acclaimed best-selling author Byron Katie's most anticipated work since Loving What Is.

In A Mind at Home with Itself, Byron Katie illuminates one of the most profound ancient Buddhist texts, The Diamond Sutra (newly translated by distinguished scholar 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 and is certain to become a classic.

In the midst of a normal American life, Byron Katie became increasingly depressed and, over a 10-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.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This is the book I would take to a desert island.

Utterly beautiful in every way. Each time I listen I hear more. Katie's voice is lovely to listen to.

Profound and interesting

An interesting and I found it, a profound audio. Katie had a deep insight experience that changed her perception of the world. Very glad that she shared this. I liked her comments on the Diamond Sutra, I found them insightful.

Deep insights. Heavy in places.

Overall a very insightful book. Some of the concepts seemed very strange at first but its surprising how my thinking had changed at the end. At times I struggled to maintain interest but stuck with it, and I'm glad I did. A great book for helping to raise self awareness.

Exceptional. If you're ready for it.

This is the first time I've done a review on Audible.
This book is extraordinary. It's probably not something a newbie seeker will grasp, but for a student of A Course In Miracles, Eckhart Tolle or any other Non Dualistic teaching, this book should be in your phone or on your book shelf. It's quite exceptional.
