Byron KatieSpeaker and Booking Agent Information

Byron Katie is an American speaker and author who teaches a method of self-inquiry known as The Work of Byron Katie or simply as The Work. (Her method is distinct from The Work of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky.) She is married to the writer and translator Stephen Mitchell.

Byron Kathleen Reid lived in a halfway house for women with eating disorders in February 1986 and while living there says that she experienced a life-changing realization: I discovered that when I believed my thoughts, I suffered, but that when I didn™t believe them, I didn™t suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Freedom is as simple as that. I found that suffering is optional. I found a joy within me that has never disappeared, not for a single moment. She says that people started seeking her out and asking for advice. Katie calls her method of self-inquiry The Work. She describes it as an embodiment of wordless questioning and has taught her method to people at free public events, in prisons, hospitals, churches, corporations, shelters for survivors of domestic violence, universities and schools, at weekend intensives, and at her nine-day School for The Work.
