Summary:
"An award-winning psychologist reveals the hidden power of
our
inner
voice
and shows
how
we can
harness
it to live healthier, more satisfying, and productive lives. Tell a stranger that you talk to yourself, and you're likely to get written off as eccentric. But the truth is that we all have a
voice
in
our
head
. When we talk to ourselves, we often hope to tap into
our
inner coach but find
our
inner critic instead. When we're facing a tough task,
our
inner coach can buoy us up: Focus--you can do this. But just as often,
our
inner critic sinks us entirely. I'm going to fail. They'll all laugh at me. What's the use? In
Chatter
, acclaimed psychologist Ethan Kross explores the silent conversations we have with ourselves. Interweaving groundbreaking behavioral and brain research from his own lab with real-world case studies -- from a pitcher who forgets
how
to pitch to a Harvard undergrad negotiating her double life as a spy -- Kross explains
how
these conversations shape
our
lives, work, and relationships. He warns that giving in to negative and disorienting self-talk -- what he calls "
chatter
"--can tank
our
health, sink
our
moods, strain
our
social connections, and cause us to fold under pressure. But the good news is that we're already equipped with the tools we need to make
our
inner
voice
work in
our
favor. These tools are often hidden in plain sight -- in the words we use to think about ourselves, the technologies we embrace, the diaries we keep in
our
drawers, the conversations we have with
our
loved ones, and the cultures we create in
our
schools and workplaces. Brilliantly argued, expertly researched, and filled with compelling stories, "
Chatter
" gives us the power to change the most important conversation we have each day: the one we have with ourselves."--From publisher.
