A Thousand Names for Joy by Byron Katie

Excerpted quotes:

"It's not possible to have a problem without believing a prior thought. To notice this simple truth is the beginning of peace."

"Forgiveness is realizing that what you thought happened didn't. You realize that there was never anything to forgive, and that's what The Work makes evident. It has all just been a misunderstanding within you."

"When you try to be safe, you live your life being very, very careful, and you may wind up having no life at all."

"People will write off even the clearest, most loving person in the world when he opposes their belief system. They will invalidate him, negate him, obliterate him, prove that he's wrong, he's a fraud, he's dangerous to society, so that they can protect what they really believe is important. They'd rather be right than free."

"If I think that I'm supposed to be doing anything but what I'm doing now, I'm insane."

"Of course, freedom doesn't mean that you let unkind things happen--it doesn't mean passivity or masochism. If someone says he's going to cut off your legs, run."
