Business of Thoughts: Byron Katie's perspective on stress arising from meddling in others' business is shared. The episode highlights the need to focus on our own lives rather than trying to control external factors.
Identifying Stressful Thoughts: Listeners are guided through the initial step of The Work – identifying thoughts causing stress. The host encourages journaling thoughts about recent upsetting situations to start the process.
