Philosopher and self-help expert Byron Katie built her career on a foundational concept known as "The Work." The core philosophy argues that each person has basic underlying stories that comprise his or her existence, fundamental truths to guide them. In many cases, these can be self-taught negative beliefs that lead one down ill-advised paths, shaped by poor decisions. By changing these negative self-perceptions into positive ones, an individual can dramatically alter the course of his or her life journey. This fourth volume of the Portraits of Inspiring Lives series finds Katie opening up about her own past and the experiences that led her to develop The Work. She then segues into a discussion about how each viewer can use the Work concepts to attain greater peace, energy, self-confidence, and optimism about the future.
