This book offers great tools to manage that inner voice that everyone has and makes us doubt ourselves. Ethan Kross is a psychologist and a leading expert on controlling the conscious mind. Greatly recommended!
I probably wouldn’t have picked this book up if it weren’t for a colleague who was reading it. It had some interesting ideas about ways to break the cycle of self-talk, and it inspired me to remove social media from my phone and buy another plant to “green up” my workspace. The guts of the book are summarized in the last section called “The Tools,” so that’s likely what I’d reference if I were ever to revisit it.
I was lucky enough to listen to this via netgalley with thanks to the author and publishers, in return for an honest and open review!
‘The most important conversation you’ll have is with yourself’.
This book was fantastic! I absolutely love the subject matter the author covered and it was so so interesting. Everyone has an inner voice, but how much do we know about it? What can we understand from it? How can we draw from it? It’s such a common and well spread phenomenon yet individually understood very little!
I love reading psychology books and all about the brain and have very rarely came across our inner voice and the science, psychology and application relating to it. It definitely made the book novel and different! Introspection is such a double edged sword and it was so interesting learning more about what goes on in our brains.
Hearing about the authors experiences in life and career were great as well as examples in the real world, in different people and within ourselves. For example, in athletes. There’s some amazing studies and research included too, which was amazingly communicated and written with plenty of examples of other works by renowned scientists and researchers in their field. I loved learning more about the science and I really learnt an awful lot from this book.
(I listened to the audiobook) - I also thought the narrator was great and was very easy to listen to. I always worry listening to audiobooks of non fiction as sometimes the narration can be hard to listen to/ monotonous however this one was definitely not. It was effortless to the ears and I stayed focused and engaged enough throughout to take in the information and get into the subject.
This is the sort of book that you read, and it continues with you after you’ve finished. You leave with active points for change when it comes to taking your inner voice and new tools for implementation.
This is such an important book for so many and I left with a completely different perspective on the ‘inner voice’. Both in understanding my own and that of others, how it can be turned to an advantage and learning its applications in things like sport, mental and physical health as well as what’s happening in ongoing research.
Would definitely recommend!

Life changing; thank you for this ...
I did not find this as helpful or engaging as I'd hoped. Maybe my mental health is just too poor for this, because his emphasis on the negative effects stuck much more than the okay so how do I improve it parts.
Short, but it could have been even shorter. It had a lot of the same studies that are in other books. In all honestly, the last chapter is really the only one you need.
