She realized that all suffering is caused by believing our thoughts, and the only way to relieve the suffering is to question our thoughts. She calls these four questions and the turn-around “the work” or “self-inquiry”.

The questions are:
1) Is it true?
2) Can you absolutely know that it is true?
3) How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought?
4) Who would you be without the thought?

She then has you turn the concept you are questioning around.

Bryon Katie has written several books on the subject and we HIGHLY recommend them!

Here are three of the books:

Loving What Is: This book tells the story of how Katie discovered the work. It also teaches the process of how to do the work and gives examples of people doing the work with Katie.

Who Would You Be Without Your Story: A collection of 15 examples of people doing the work with Katie.

A Thousand Names For Joy: This is a radically different book than the first two we’ve described here. It doesn’t focus on the work as much as it explores the freedom that comes from doing the work. Katie’s husband, Stephen Mitchell published his own translation of the famous “Tao Te Ching” and as he was reading it to Katie, she took concepts from it and elaborated on her view of it. If you love the Tao Te Ching, you’ll really love this book!

And as Rhonda Byrne states in that movie, it was a worn copy of “The Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace D. Wattles that started her quest and led her to create “The Secret”.

Since watching “The Secret” and as a direct result of changing our vibration to attract good things into our lives, we have become associated with the SGR (Science of Getting Rich) Club and would like to extend an invitation to anyone and everyone to join us! The SGR Club has proven to be a wonderful place to meet other people who are deliberately and intentionally taking control of their lives by learning and consciously applying the 7 natural laws of the Universe and their subordinate laws. As members of the SGR Club, we are learning to apply the 7 natural laws to our thoughts and actions, realizing that there are no coincidences in this life and that the words “chance” and “luck” are only used to explain unknown causes of known effects. The supposed “unknown causes” can be traced back to either obedience or disobience to these 7 natural laws and their subordinate laws.

The riches that we are talking about include more than just monetary wealth. The riches are in all of life’s major areas: body (physical), mind (intellectual) and soul (spiritual) and are expressed in our business, home and social lives. We strive to become successful in all of these key areas of life so that we can enjoy a well-rounded, happy, satisfying life!

The things we learn in the SGR Club supplement and compliment almost all religous and spiritual studies: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Taoism and many others.

As members of the SGR Club, it is our intent to help raise everyone’s awareness of the laws that govern success and of the happiness and serenity that can be attained by consciously and habitually obeying them. As Golden Rule Jones said, “What I want for myself, I want for everybody.”

We’re grateful that you took the time to read this!

Will you join us? We would love to meet you!

Steven and Lisa Sharp
