I was recently at a two-day event with Byron Katie at the Center for the Work in Ojai, California. At this event, Katie answered scores of questions from the audience and demonstrated doing The Work with a handful of lucky people. Watching her do The Work again and again over two days taught me so much.
We believe, unconsciously, that there are only two ways to respond to conflict: fight or roll over. Katie demonstrated another way: listen and respond honestly.
It was breathtaking. Every single body in the room relaxed. So that’s how you do it, we all thought.
