About this listen

Internationally acclaimed bestselling 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 ten-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.

I didn't know what to expect but, my God, having both Byron and Stephen reading this is a jewel of indescribable value. The message here, the lessons, the Presence of both these reflections of the awakened mind, shifts the listener every so gently and potently. I have listened to it more than once and will continue to listen to it repeatedly. This is transformative in every sense of the word. Deeply grateful for this.

Profoundly powerful beyond words

An awesome presentation of a way to find peace in this world we live in. You are responsible for every thought you have. Don’t judge. When you do you will be miserable. We must learn to co exist in this life with no anger nor blame. You are exactly what you yourself sees things happening through unconditional discovery of “turn around “. You must own your feelings.

Own your life

So wonderful to hear Katie reflect on the profound teaching of the diamond sutra. If you have read her other work and want something that explains more fully the processes behind The Work this is one way of understanding.

I finished once and I wanted to share how amazing is this book. I had some shallow knowledges and background about "The Work" around in 2 years ago. Sometimes, it worked and often time didn't work completely because I was quite arrogant of having the I know mind to treat "The Work" as a tool for me to function as a pain & stress reliever but myself/ego remained in the illusion.

In 2023 was an eventful year for me, life had manifested to me on the things that didn't work in my life. I realised my mind & thoughts were so active and busy all the time. I often easily took things personally and made every things a big deal. It was tiring and anxiety just kept looping. I had enough and willingly to face my situation. Thank you to this realisation and had became the fuel for me to pick up "The Work" again and do it with other people who were passionate in "The Work". I am blessed "The Work" is the clarity and pointing me to discover the Reality and the Truth. It was a meditative process to go through the 4 questions.

Gradually, each of my identities are falling apart now. Thanks to the "The Work" and my wife because she has been sharing and prompting "The Work" in Asia. I have been witnessing the impact on one's life. I don't need to be spiritual. I just need to be honest to myself with an open mind and open heart. Definitely, I will revisit this book couple times and take note.

I am grateful for "The Work" - Life changing
