Summary
"Negative selftalk takes a toll on our minds, bodies, relationships, and work. Once freed from the internal tension inherent in selfcriticism, people have more energy, enjoyment, and peace. But not all remedies for an unhealthy inner monologue are equal. Based on years of experience working with hundreds of individuals, psychologist and mindfulness teacher Rachel Turow offers the "selftalk workout"six sciencebacked exercises that can help you replace selfcriticism with selfkindness. Drawing on scientific studies, stories from her own life and her experiences as a psychotherapist, as well as lessons from respected public figures and mindfulness teachers such as Michelle Obama and Thich Nhat Hanh, Turow brings the topic of selftalk into the light of supportive reflection and evidencebased strategy", Provided by publisher
