From Byron Katie, author of the hugely successful Loving What Is, a simple, straightforward method of achieving inner peace by finding joy in the way things are.

Inspired by the Tao Te Ching, this is Byron Katie's inspiring and pragmatic approach to achieving an awakened mind and living more simply and profoundly. Using the template of the 81 chapters of the Tao Te Ching she talks about her own experience of living in harmony with the way things are, and the difference between what hurts and what doesn't.

Katie has written two books that teach how suffering can be relieved by questioning the thoughts that create it, the thoughts that argue with reality. This questioning takes courage and, in this her third book, she gives readers profound encouragement by showing them the freedom and love that live on the other side of self-inquiry.

Many people believe that although enlightenment was attainable thousands of years ago by a few great saints or ascetics, such a state is out of reach of anyone living in the modern world, let alone themselves. This richly detailed account has the ability to change that belief.

Katie's comments on life, and how to live it, are profound, vibrant, funny and crystal clear and all rooted in the familiar circumstances of everyday life.

Reviews for A Thousand Names For Joy: How To Live In Harmony With The Way Things Are

Byron Katie is one of the truly great and inspiring teachers of our time. She has been enormously helpful to me personally. I love this very wise woman, and I encourage everyone to immerse themselves in this phenomenal book. A Thousand Names for Joy is a vivid and powerful portrait of the awakened mind. I am captivated by Katie's clear mind and loving heart, which offer the world a simple process to find joy. Who knew? Katie did, and what a blessing she offers to us all. Katie's teachings and everyday life are pure wisdom. A Thousand Names for Joy shows us the way to inner peace, and she directs us there fearlessly, relentlessly, and with utmost generosity. I have rarely seen anyone-spiritual teachers included-embody wisdom as powerfully as Katie in her passionate embrace of each and every moment. Byron Katie's Work . . . acts like a razor-sharp sword that cuts through illusion and enables you to know for yourself the timeless essence of your being. No less than a revolutionary way to live your life. The question is: are we brave enough to accept it?
