What's wrong with my computer All writers know how important it is to have a good working computer. Computer problems, viruses or crashes can be very frustrating.   They’re probably more annoying and harmful than car problems.

Byron Katie is an author and speaker who created a powerful process called “The Work.” In her first book, Loving What Is , Katie suggests that there are three types of business in the world: “My Business,” “Your Business” (“Other People’s Business”), and God’s Business. She points out that anytime you find yourself in “Other People’s Business” or “God’s Business,” you feel stressed. Why? Because you don’t have any business in “Other People’s Business” or “God’s Business.” When you’re in “Other People’s Business,” or “God’s Business,” you have no control and no influence. In fact, when you’re in “Other
