Your partner's flaws are your own | Byron Katie



Byron Katie explains a post: "Your partner's flaws are your own, because you're projecting them."


"If my partner has a flaw, who is believing that?" Byron Katie says. "Where's the flaw? If I'm the one seeing it, I am its creator." 

Katie offers a personal example of how we project our flaws onto others. With the eyes of love, she can see her ex-husband standing before her, perfect, acting in a way that other people think is unacceptable. Through self-inquiry, we too can see our partners clearly, without the filter of our judgments.

"A flawed mind attacks.  It defends....Defence is the first act of war."

Relationships and Love | Byron Katie


Byron Katie talks to Joginder Bola about relationships and love using The Work to question and turn around our thinking.

Byron Katie is the founder of The Wo
rk. Katie (as everyone calls her) not only shows us that all the problems in the world originate in our thinking but gives us the tool to open our minds and set ourselves free.

The Work is based on FOUR QUESTIONS which can be done on your own or with another person, ending with a process called a "Turnaround": The four questions are:

1. Is it true?
2. Can you absolutely know that it's true?
3. How do you react when you believe that thought?
4. Who would you be without the thought?

You Need More Money—Is That True? The Work of Byron Katie


Katie examines our common misconceptions about money.

"Who would you be without the story 'I need more money?'"

"With or without money, we have a right to be happy that is our birthright."

"In my experience, peace has no conditions, and it's a matter of what is true and what is not."
