Solutions to support you in your practice of Transformational Inquiry and help you apply The Work to all areas of your life.
Transformational Inquiry eBooks by Carol L. Skolnick
These informative, activity-packed PDF guides help you to apply The Work of Byron Katie to real-life situations.
Transformational Inquiry: Working on
Mothers and Others 2nd Edition.
"I need my mother to love me." "Mothers should not
abandon their children." "My mother won't let me
live my own life." "I get along with my mother,
BUT...." "Mother" is a loaded word. Newly revised and
expanded, the 73-page Second Edition includes more pages of "Judge-Your-Mother" exercises and insights. Let this practical guide help you to heal your past as you unravel your most stressful thoughts about the parent you think you know so well.
"I got from Working on Mothers and Others that forgiveness and amends are for me and I can tell my mother about it or not. That allowed me to be open to the possibility of doing it. And now I really want to."
—J.K., Yoga Instructor, Waco, TX
"This eBook journey demonstrates what's possible when we examine the umbilical discords that hold us back. As I do The Work on my mother—with Carol's sweet guidance—I find myself living more with a memory of her words of love for me from her death bed than with so many other negative associations. Thank you, Carol; you have joined your voice with Byron Katie's to bring more understanding and peace to my world."
—M.K., Business and Life Coach, Superior, WI

Transformational Inquiry: Working on Your Work
"My boss should..." "My clients don't..." "I have no skills."
"I should be doing something else." What keeps you
from "Loving What's Biz?" With The Work, you can
create lasting and radical change in the workplace by
addressing the beliefs underlying the way you relate to your jobs, your colleagues, your supervisors, your clients, your direct reports, and to yourself. 95 pages.
Praise for Transformational Inquiry: Working on Your Work:
"My only complaint about Transformational Inquiry: Working on Your Work is that it is seriously under-priced. As for the rest, this little gem is a delight to read as well as a practical guide to healing your heart and regaining sanity at work. It is rare for an eBook to be as lucid, complete, and practical as this one. It will repay your thoughtful, open-hearted attention a thousand fold."
—Molly Gordon, Shaboom Inc.
"A breath of fresh air for those of us who need insight into the true nature of our work-related problems and a way out of our suffering. I think everyone with or without a job should be required to read this eBook!"
—Rev. Dr. Tami Coyne, Career and Life Coach, author of
YOUR LIFE'S WORK: A Guide to a Spiritual and Successful
Work Life
"Working on Your Work went beyond my expectations and thoroughly covered the topic with amazing clarity and insight. I found all the help I needed there. Your material is a great addition to Byron Katie's."
—Sandra Khoury, Certified Substance Abuse/Co-occuring
Disorders Counselor
Middlefield, CT

Recommended Reading
Doing Nothing: Coming to the End of the Spiritual Search
by Stephen Harrison. Like the Tao Te Ching, this is a small book that packs a huge whallop. In the dedication, Harrison says,
"How do we speak to each other without creating authority and power? How do we form relationship that is not bound by fear and need? How do we live in community in a way that expresses communion yet confirms our inherent freedom? This exploration cannot stop in the deconstruction of the conceptual world and the discord these belief systems have brought about. We need to find what can give expression to the whole in each of our lives, and together, in all of our lives."

Filed with opportunities to question what we believe about ourselves, the planet, life, "shouldn'ts" and "shoulds," plus practical solutions. (Byron Katie's brief contribution to the film, while it did not make it to the theatrical release, is available in the DVD "extras.")
The Corporation
Balanced, comprehensive, not pretty. Essential viewing for those with beliefs (in either direction) about the world of business and our participation in that world.
