Edge20 Article: A Thousand Names for Joy: An Interview with Byron Katie By Tim Miejan


A Thousand Names for Joy: An Interview with Byron Katie

”Reality is always kinder than the story we tell ourselves about it. If I were to tell the story of reality, it would have to be a love story. ” – Byron Katie
Five years ago, a revolutionary new book was published. Loving What Is: The Four Questions that can Change Your Life, written by Byron Kathleen Reid (known far and wide as Byron Katie, and who goes by Katie) challenged us to acknowledge that perhaps what we think about things are not reality, and that our presumptions actually cause our suffering. This mother of three, who suffered such a deep depression that she was suicidal and full of rage and self-loathing, experienced in 1986 what she can only call a moment of grace when she saw the truth behind her fear and now helps others with suffering in their lives.
