At the age of 43, Byron Katie was paralyzed by depression, rage, and paranoia, but that dark time gave rise to a transformative process she calls "The Work." The Work consists of four key questions that dissect the things we believe and hold them up to the light of reality. Through this course of inquiry, Katie believes that anyone can be released from the suffering that is holding him or her captive. "People who have been practicing inquiry for a while often say, 'The Work is no longer something I do. It is doing me,'" writes Stephen Mitchell in the introduction to Katie's book . "They describe how, without any conscious intention, the mind notices each stressful thought and undoes it before it can cause any suffering."
