Byron Katie

“The Work is a way to identify and question the thoughts that cause all the suffering in the world.”

“Question your thoughts. Change your world.”

“Is it true? — that is the most important question you can ask yourself.”

“Without your story, you wouldn't have a problem.”

“The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is.”

“There are no new stressful thoughts. They're all recycled.”

“When I argue with reality, I lose. Reality is the way it is.”

“You move totally away from reality when you believe that there is a legitimate reason to suffer.”

“Defense is the first act of war.”

“It is not your job to like me. It's mine.”

“Loving what is means loving yourself, no matter what.”

“The mind that knows it is happy is happy.”

“I am the only one who can answer the question, who am I?”

“Place your hand over your heart, slow down, and just listen.”

“There is no problem unless you believe a thought.”

“Awareness is the medicine.”

“The turnaround is the prescription for a happy life.”

“What we project onto others is what we cannot see in ourselves.”

“Reality is always kinder than the story we tell about it.”
