Video Games and Violence

Using as an example the anxiety parents have about violent video games, Byron Katie encourages the audience to explore their fears, question them, and see what’s on the other side. A parent may be terrified that a child will become a criminal or go to prison because he is spending all his time watching video games. Once these fears are investigated, understanding replaces fear, and you can join your child in a place of love. "Once you write a Worksheet on what you fear will happen to your child and question your thoughts," Katie says, "you find words to say to your children that are clear and kind and loving. You know yourself, you know your limits, and because you’re clear with yourself, you can be absolutely clear with your child." 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.
