Book Reviews of A Thousand Names for Joy: A Life in Harmony with the Way Things Are
Book Review: A thousand moments of joy from this book
Summary: 5 Stars
If you could read the words of Buddha or Jesus in their native tongues, in the era they were alive, wouldn't you want to? It is a rare treat for an English speaker to read the words of a spiritual master in contemporary phrasing, in our native language, in a personal and virtually unedited format. For this reason, "A Thousand names for Joy" is and will prove to be a classic. This is Life described in Katie's own words, her own style, and it allows access to a perspective unhindered in the great Way. Without trying to, she speaks in some of the most beautiful poetry I have heard, and her delight and love of what Is is communicated in an easy, subtle way. I am often astonished at how it leaves me in a space of understanding her way of seeing, in a moment of grace. What a gift! I can't stop re-reading this book. It is among the most powerful books I have come across in my life. She embodies the taoist Master perfectly, and anyone looking for spiritual insight will find this book to be a jewel.
Summary of A Thousand Names for Joy: A Life in Harmony with the Way Things Are
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 an audiobook 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.
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.
