Editorial Review:
In Loving What Is, bestselling 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.
“Everyone agrees that love is wonderful, except when it’s terrible. People spend their whole lives tantalized by love—seeking it, trying to hold on to it, or trying to get over it. Not far behind love, as major preoccupations, come approval and appreciation. From childhood on, most people spend much of their energy in a relentless pursuit of these things, trying out different methods to be noticed, to please, to impress, and to win other people’s love, thinking that’s just the way life is. This effort can become so constant and unquestioned that we barely notice it anymore.This book takes a close look at what works and what doesn’t in the quest for love and approval. It will help you find a way to be happier in love and more effective in all your relationships. What you learn here will bring fulfillment to all kinds of relationships, including romantic love, dating, marriage, work, and friendship.” —Byron Katie

Rating: - Best help I have read so far!!!
This book was easy to read and mostly easy to identify to. I can't express enough how it changed my outlook on life immediately during the 2 days it took me to read it. I reccomend this book to anyone out there struggling with relationship issues, negative feelings, or simply just wanting to find peace in their life and thought process. Thank you Byron Katie!!!
P.S. I had previously read Byron Katie's book on Accepting What Is, and although I found that book to help a little, following it ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent
This, along with Byron Katie's other book, Loving What Is, have definitely changed my life forever. I also highly recommend reading A Thousand Names for Joy by Byron Katie, and The Power of Now and A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. They are very compatible.
Rating: - Instant peace!
I titled this review "Instant peace", which is quite a claim. When aching for or feeling stress about something/someone - this book, and "Making Your Thoughts Work For You" with Byron Katie and Wayne Dyer, bring me back to peace the fastest. *Highly recommend in Audio*.
Rating:  - I Used To Be A Byron Katie Fan - No More!
I got taken in by Byron Katie's "work", used to think it was great. It seemed to "work" in the beginning. Over time I started finding holes in it. Bigger and bigger holes. Then I did some internet research and learned that people have been reporting big problems with Byron Katie and her method. I've come to agree that she's full of it.
Under NO circumstances do I recommend taking a seminar with this woman. I urge you to do a search for "Byron Katie" and "cult" and evaluate the info that's ... Read More
