Based on recommendations here by PJEby, I'm trying to work through Byron Katie's Loving what is

So far, I'm really enjoying the concreteness of the approach - she focuses a lot on how to address your problems. For comparison, another book I read recently talked about 'reparenting' and 'setting respectful limits' and when I'd finished reading it I had more insight into my issues but no idea what 'reparenting' looks like, and so no foothold on addressing them. I've also found myself spontaneously starting to use her framework to think about some current problems I'm dealing with, which I take as a good sign. I'll report back in when I've finished reading it and/or I've tried applying the techniques for a month or so.
