Byron Katie: The Simple Practice That Ends Emotional Suffering
Byron Katie and Sage Robbins explore "The Work," Katie's transformative self-inquiry method for ending emotional suffering. In a deeply personal conversation, Sage vulnerably shares how discovering The Work helped her navigate fertility struggles, miscarriages, and grief—and how it's enabling her to find presence and peace while caring for her mother with dementia. Rather than lecturing, Byron guides Sage through a real-time inquiry, demonstrating how questioning stressful thoughts can transform pain into clarity and connection.
