My Brother is Dangerously Overweight

A woman who thinks her brother is dangerously overweight is frightened for him. She looks at his full dinner plate and can’t help wondering if he and his wife ever discuss his weight issue. Listen and find out how this woman finally questions her thoughts about her brother, with the help of Byron Katie. "When we believe our negative judgments," Katie says, "our bodies take on the emotional stress that the judgments create. Our lack of compassion leaves us feeling guilty, confused, and unable to find peace. Unquestioned concepts create the world we live in." For more information, visit thework.com

Byron Katie, founder of The Work, has one job: to teach people how to end their own suffering. As she guides people through the powerful process of inquiry she calls The Work, they find that their stressful beliefs—about life, other people, or themselves—radically shift and their lives are changed forever. Based on Byron Katie's direct experience of how suffering is created and ended, The Work is an astonishingly simple process, accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds, and requires nothing more than a pen, paper, and an open mind. Through this process, anyone can learn to trace unhappiness to its source and deal with it there. Katie (as everyone calls her) not only shows us that all the problems in the world originate in our thinking: she gives us the tool to open our minds and set ourselves free.
