In A Mind at Home with Itself, Byron Katie uses her ground-breaking method of self-inquiry known as “The Work” to illuminate The Diamond Sutra, one of the most profound ancient Buddhist texts (newly translated in these pages by Stephen Mitchell), in order to shed light on the nature of the mind and free us from distressing thoughts. In addition to describing the awakened mind, Byron Katie gives us the tools to experience it ourselves. A Mind at Home with Itself gives us a radical new understanding of life and death that is both breathtakingly original and profoundly instructive.
