Byron Katie

Byron Kathleen Mitchell , known as Byron Katie, is an American speaker and writer who developed The Work, a method of self-inquiry.

After experiencing severe depression in her thirties, Katie had a life-changing realization in 1986 that led her to create The Work.

She has since shared her method globally through public events, workshops, and books.

Katie's approach has been compared to Socratic method and Zen meditation, though she is not affiliated with any religion.

Her work has gained popularity and recognition, with Time magazine naming her a "spiritual innovator." Katie is married to writer Stephen Mitchell and has authored several books on The Work and self-inquiry.
