Product Description“Byron Katie is one of the truly great and inspiring teachers of our time. I encourage everyone to immerse themselves in this phenomenal book.” –Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
In her first two books, Loving What Is and I Need Your Love–Is That True? Byron Katie showed how suffering can be ended by questioning the stressful thoughts that create it. Now, in A Thousand Names for Joy, she encourages us to discover the freedom that lives on the other side of inquiry.
Stephen Mitchell–the renowned translator of the Tao Te Ching–selected provocative excerpts from that ancient text as a stimulus for Katie to talk about the most essential issues that face us all: life and death, good and evil, love, work, and fulfillment. With her stories of total ease in all circumstances, Katie does more than describe the awakened mind; she lets you see it, feel it, in action.

Rating: - A thousand moments of joy from this book
If you could read the words of Buddha or Jesus in their native tongues, in the era they were alive, wouldn't you want to? It is a rare treat for an English speaker to read the words of a spiritual master in contemporary phrasing, in our native language, in a personal and virtually unedited format. For this reason, "A Thousand names for Joy" is and will prove to be a classic. This is Life described in Katie's own words, her own style, and it allows access to a perspective unhindered in the great ... Read More

I have read this book a couple of times and find it insightful and helpful in guiding me to true understanding of where I need to be. If you like Eckhart Tolle and want something more to guide you , this is the book. If you want to get past all your anger and frustrations , this book will lead you there gently.
Rating: - BEAUTIFUL!
I absolutely loved this book! It empowers me to but things in perspective and find the joy in the moment. I have read the book numerous times in the last 9 month's it's one of those books I'll reread the rest of this human experience. I also purchased the CD set of Byron Katie reading the book....it doesn't seem like she is reading...just sharing. Her gentleness and love is heart felt. My husband and I listened to it on our way back home in the car, 12 hours. It was joyfull! In it she shares ... Read More
Rating: - Down to earth mindfulness
I enjoyed this book and got a lot out of it because it ties in the mindfulness aspect of The Work with the theosophy of the Tao Te Jing such that the Tao helps clarify why The Work is truly helpful. I recommend this to anyone interested in looking at their thoughts and feelings with greater honesty and responsibility.
Rating: - Name your joy
I love this book. A great recommendation from the folks at [...] where I watched all the video clips and felt the direct power and grace of The Work she is doing with everyone. Loving What Is, the title of her first book, says it all, but A Thousand Names For Joy: Living in Harmony with the Way Things Are arrived first in the mail. Joy is joy, and the laughter came freely in every short chapter of this, Katie's meditation inspired by her husband Stephen Mitchell's translation of the Tao Te Ching. About ... Read More
