Byron Katie's simple program, The Work, was explored in her previous, hugely popular book Loving What Is. In it she explained how easy it is to be confused by the mental gymnastics we all play in our minds, and how looking closely at our thoughts — and whether they are true — can bring us a life of integrity and happiness.
Her second book questions everything we have been taught to think and do to find love and approval, and shows how to make the transition to an effective, non-manipulative way of connecting with others. When you live your life focused on thoughts such as 'I need a man' or 'She doesn't care about me,' you live in fear and end up lonely, stressed, heartbroken, and depressed. However, when you start to explore The Work, you can begin to inquire into many of the unquestioned beliefs you have lived by, and can begin to change.
Through I Need Your Love — Is That True? readers can explore what happens in their mind when they believe they need love, appreciation, and approval. When they realize the truth of what's really going on inside them, there is no doubt they can find real love and mutual understanding, especially with the help of Byron Katie's wisdom and compassion.
