American spiritual teacher who developed 'The Work' — a four-question self-inquiry method for questioning stressful thoughts — after a profound awakening experience while staying in a halfway house. Her method is: Is it true? Can you absolutely know that it's true? How do you react when you believe that thought? Who would you be without the thought?
Created the most accessible and practically powerful contemporary self-inquiry method — The Work's four questions provide a concrete protocol for questioning the reality of thoughts that cause suffering — making the basic insight of non-dual wisdom traditions ('suffering comes from believing thoughts, not from reality') practically actionable.
