This episode of the Wiggle Room Podcast brings two interesting questions about The Work of Byron Katie: what to expect if you keep doing The Work over a long period of time, and what exactly is the difference between a want and a need (which we often identify as stressful thoughts to question). You can also listen to this podcast wherever you get your podcasts. If you’re new to podcasts, here’s a review article by PCMagazine on the best podcast apps to use.
