Une façon de vivre qui est un vrai défi, mais qui éclaire de nombreuses faces cachées à découvrir au fur et à mesure. Le chemin est long, mais passionnant ! —Danieljean (Babelio) > LES MILLE VISAGES DU BONHEUR, par Byron Katie (2018, Synchronique, 320 p.). — RÉSUMÉ — Ce Travail de Byron Katie est à la croisée de la philosophie pratique et de la psychologie. C’est une démarche simple mais puissante qui consiste à remettre en question de façon profonde les schémas de pensées qui nous font souffrir inutilement. Fondé sur quatre questions, simples et profondes à la fois, il permet à chacun de se libérer des illusions et des limites du mental qui nous bloquent l’accès à la sérénité, à l’amour et à la joie de vivre. Au travers de commentaire de 81 citations du Tao te King, l’ouvrage fondateur du Taoïsme. Byron Katie nous invite à découvrir la sérénité du mental libéré des conditionnements et des schémas de pensées qui nous font souffrir inutilement. —3e millénaire, (131), Printemps 2019 In her first two books, Byron Katie showed how suffering can be ended by questioning the stressful thoughts that create it, through a process of self-inquiry she calls The Work. 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. The result is a book that allows the timeless insights of the Tao Te Ching to resonate anew for us today, while offering a vivid and illuminating glimpse into the life of someone who for twenty years—ever since she “woke up to reality” one morning in 1986—has been living what Lao-tzu wrote more than 2,500 years ago.Katie’s profound, lighthearted wisdom is not theoretical; it is absolutely authentic. That is what makes this book so compelling. It’s a portrait of a woman who is imperturbably joyous, whether she is dancing with her infant granddaughter or finds that her house has been emptied out by burglars, whether she stands before a man about to kill her or embarks on the adventure of walking to the kitchen, whether she learns that she is going blind, flunks a “How Good a Lover Are You?” test, or is diagnosed with cancer. 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. And she shows you how that mind is yours as well. Having heard about Katie for years, it was good to finally read one of her books. She is almost too good to be true....but it seems it may be more than shtick for her. This book uses snippets from her husbands version of the Tao as the basis for each chapter. Mitchell, however, makes no claim to speak Chinese. He admits to reading many translations and appears to have done some free-based thinking in his version. Not sure many authors would have quite so much chutzpah to write a book based so loosely on a non-translation of a well-known classic. At the end of the book is a step-by-step how-to of "The Work," Katie's method of looking at difficult personal problems. That is also interesting, but I'm not certain it can really succeed as a self-help. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

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.
