Byron Katie Knihy

Len štyri vhodne položené otázky stačia na to, aby ste vyriešili takmer každú situáciu, ktorá vás trápi. Autorka Byron Katie sa o tom presviedča už niekoľko rokov od momentu, keď objavila jedinečnú metódu skúmania vlastných myšlienok. Nazvala ju jednoducho – Práca. V knihe Milovať to, čo je vás Byron Katie postupne prevedie celým procesom metódy Práca: od rozpoznania situácie, ktorá vás trápi, cez presné sformulovanie kritických tvrdení o príčine, ktorá podľa vás túto situáciu spôsobuje, až po objavenie skutočného dôvodu vášho trápenia. Byron Katie vás pritom nenúti vzdať sa svojich názorov či presvedčení, práve naopak – využíva ich pri odhaľovaní pravdy, ktorá vás oslobodí.

Spoločnosť a kultúra, v ktorej žijeme, nás učia, aby sme svoju hodnotu odvodzovali od lásky, súhlasu a uznania druhých. Výsledkom sú neúspešné vzťahy a zranené duše všetkých, ktorí svoju vlastnú hodnotu zakladajú na správaní a názoroch iných ľudí. Kniha Potrebujem tvoju lásku – Je to pravda? skúma vzťahy, ktoré nás zvyknú trápiť najviac a cez ktoré sa často posudzujeme – partnerský vzťah, vzťah dieťaťa k rodičovi či pracovné vzťahy. Pomocou jednoduchého procesu vhodne kladených otázok sa nám rýchlo podarí odhaliť chybné tvrdenia, na ktorých sú založené nielen naše vzťahy, ale často celý náš život. A čo je najlepšie – hneď ako tieto falošné tvrdenia zistíme, dokážeme sa od nich oslobodiť a vpustiť si do života skutočnú lásku k sebe aj iným.

Katiin jedinečný prístup s prvkami, ktoré pripomínajú zenovú meditáciu, ponúka pragmatický a jednoduchý spôsob, ako priviesť ľudí k tomu, aby prevzali zodpovednosť za svoje problémy. Kniha je určená aj laickým čitateľom, nielen odborníkom na duševné zdravie, samotná metóda Byron Katie je určená všetkým ľuďom bez rozdielu veku, pohlavia, vzdelania a iných atribútov. Jedinou podmienkou je ochota pracovať na sebe a túžba poznať pravdu, nie pravdu mať

Tato nádherně ilustrovaná knížka vypráví příběh o malém tygrovi, který se domnívá, že se mu hroutí celý svět: rodiče ho nemají rádi, kamarádi ho opustili a život je nespravedlivý. Moudrá želva mu položí čtyři otázky – a všechno se změní. Tygřík přijde na to, že všechny jeho problémy nezpůsobují vnější věci, ale jeho myšlenky, způsob, jakým o věcech přemýšlí, a jakmile si začne klást ty správné otázky, život je znovu nádherný. Příběh malého tygříka obsahuje mocné poselství, které dokáže změnit život nejen dětem. Slova Byron Katie naplněná moudrostí a kouzelné ilustrace Hanse Wilhelma vytvořily knihu, která je předurčena stát se jedním z klasických titulů dětské literatury.

Exploring the universal quest for love, approval, and appreciation, Byron Katie offers insights that resonate with readers seeking deeper connections in their lives. Drawing from her successful work, she encourages self-inquiry and personal growth, guiding individuals to challenge their beliefs and find fulfillment. Through her unique approach, she provides tools for transforming negative thoughts and fostering a sense of inner peace and acceptance.

(Formerly "A Brief Anthology")"The Work always brings us back to who we really are. Each belief investigated to the point of understanding allows the next belief to surface. You undo that one. Then you undo the next, and the next. And then you find that you are actually looking forward to the next belief. At some point you may notice that you are meeting every thought, feeling, person, and situation as a friend. Until eventually you are looking for a problem. Until, finally, you notice that you haven't had one in years." - Byron Katie

Byron Katie speaks about Relationships: "Our partners, alive, dead, or divorced, are always our greatest teachers. There's no mistake about the person you're with; he or she is the perfect teacher for you, whether or not the relationship works out, and once you enter inquiry, you come to see that clearly. There's never a mistake in the universe. So if your partner is angry, good. If there are things about him that you consider flaws, good, because these flaws are your won, you're projecting them, and you can write them down, inquire, and set yourself free. People go to India to find a guru, but you don't have to: You're living with one. Your partner will give you everything you need for your own freedom." BK.

Can I do what I wanted my parents to do? Can I give myself what I wanted my parents to give me? This is life's work. Some of us don't know how. And we expect our parents to have known how. Everything you want them to give you, turn it around, and give it to yourself. Life is good. I have myself now. And then everything I want, I give to you too. And I feel such joy. I come to see that that is the gift I give myself. But until I gave it to myself, I couldn't give it to you. And to give it to you is to give it to my very own self. -Byron Katie

"The fear of death is the last smokescreen for the fear of love. We think that we're afraid of the death of our body, though what we're really afriad of is the death of our identity. But through inquiry, as we understand that death is just a concept and that our identity is a concept too, we come to realize who we are. This is the end of fear."--Byron Katie, from the back cover.

      This book is a collection of 15 dialogues that occurred throughout the United States and Europe with Byron Katie. Some of the people who worked with Katie have painful illnesses, others are lovelorn or in messy divorces. Some are simply irritated with a co-worker or worried about money. What they all have in common is a willingness to question, with Katie’s help, the painful thoughts that are the true cause of their suffering. In every case we see how Katie’s acute mind and fierce kindness helps each person dismantle for themselves what is felt to be unshakable reality.Although these dialogues make fascinating reading—some are both hilarious and deeply moving at once—they are intended primarily as teaching tools. Each took place in front of an audience, and Katie never lost connection with that audience, repeatedly reminding each person in the room to follow the dialogues inwardly, asking themselves the questions the participant must ask. The dialogue between Katie and these volunteers is an external enactment of precisely the kind of dialogue each person can have with their own thoughts. The results, even in the seemingly most dire situation, can be unimagined freedom and joy.
