About this listen

In Loving What Is, best-selling author Byron Katie introduced thousands of people to her simple and profound method of finding happiness through questioning the mind. Now, I Need Your Love, Is That True? examines a universal, age-old source of anxiety: our relationships with others. In this groundbreaking book, Katie helps you question everything you have been taught to do to gain love and approval. In doing this, you discover how to find genuine love and connection.

The usual advice offered in self-help books and reinforced by our culture advocates a stressful, all-consuming quest for love and approval. We are advised to learn self-marketing and manipulative skills: how to attract, impress, seduce, and often pretend to be something we aren't. This approach doesn't work. It leaves millions of walking wounded, those who, having failed to find love or appreciation, blame themselves and conclude that they are unworthy of love.

I Need Your Love, Is That True? helps you illuminate every area in your life where you seem to lack what you long for most; the love of your spouse, the respect of your child, a lover's tenderness, or the esteem of your boss. Through its penetrating inquiry, you will quickly discover the falseness of the accepted ways of seeking love and approval, and also of the mythology that equates love with need. Using the method in this book, you will inquire into painful beliefs that you've based your whole life on, and be delighted to see them evaporate. Katie shows you how unraveling the knots in the search for love, approval, and appreciation brings real love and puts you in charge of your own happiness.

SImilar to all Katie's book, this one is a great one. The focus on approval is the main theme and is an important one to address given that many are tied up to the approval issue, especially with the online virtual communities. Just didn't like the mock up dialogue sessions. It feels dry and no feeling. That somehow diminishes the impact of the content a little.

Great content but don't like the mock sessions

To know that my thinking is what separates me from peace also gives me the solution to any struggle. This book shares a way to discover the truth behind any stressful thought. Thank you !

Katie’s clear and original thinking are soothing and freeing. Just to hear her prayer, God spare me from the desire for love and approval, started a process of internal work reversing a lifetime of approval seeking that has blinded me to the love that’s already in my life in favor of something unattainable and inappropriate. Freedom.

If you could sum up I Need Your Love, Is That True? in three words, what would they be?

Her work is very thought-provoking. I never thought to look at my negative thoughts like that. This is about approval-seeking, but it can be used in all areas of our lives. I wish it was longer and gave out more examples, because her techniques are quite difficult to understand.

Any additional comments?

Her narration is excellent, but the others were robotic.

Especially the first half of this book is so deep, beautiful and profound that I nearly had a second awakening because of it. The best so far out of all of Byron Katie's amazingly transformative works.

One of the most helpful books I've ever listened t

This book has changed my life forever! I look at everything differently today knowing now that most issues are about me and not "the other person." I have listened to this book four complete times, and I look forward to listening to it many more times. If you are truly ready to begin your life journey and forgive yourself for whatever has happened in the past, you will feel blessed to have found this book. I am a reader of spiritual and self development books, and this book is the best!
