Turn your inner voice from critic to coach.

We all have a voice in our head. We tune into its endless chatter to look for guidance, ideas and wisdom. Except sometimes, this voice leads us down a rabbit hole of negative self-talk and endless rumination.

These silent conversations are so powerful they can sink our mood, trip us up and even impact our health. How can we take back control? This is the question award-winning psychologist Ethan Kross set out to answer 20 years ago when he began an audacious mission - to study the conversations we have with ourselves.

In Chatter, Kross interweaves cutting-edge science with real-world case studies to explain how these inner conversations shape our work and relationships. Then he reveals the tools you need to harness your own voice so that you can be happier, healthier and more productive.

Brilliantly argued and expertly researched, Chatter will explain how the conversations we have with ourselves shape our lives and will give you the power to change them.

Excellent - helpful and practical

Despite the slightly wooden narration, the content is excellent. And it is succinct and practical. I highly recommend it.

This book has changed my life.

The insights into how to manage chatter have been life saving for me as someone who is constantly in her head, thinking about everything all the time. I have already shared the techniques with friends and family and I think this is one of those books that need to become a class or course that everyone is exposed to, preferably as soon as possible, not late into adult life only. Thank you Ethan for writing all of the research down in a book accessible to everyone.

Not all authors are good narators!

This is a good example. The monotone voice, made me sleepy 😴. I was finding myself with inner chatter, however, there are some suggestions I can probably consider.
