Chatter
by Ethan Kross
**** 4 Stars ****
Really good science-based writing on different methods of coping with negative self-chatter loops and anxiety-fueled thoughts and why it matters that a person can keep those negative thoughts from spiraling out of control. Ethan Kross, PhD, authors and narrates his own book. He is one of the world's leading experts on controlling the conscious mind and is the director of the Emotion and Self Control Laboratory at the University of Michigan.
Excellent listen on Audible, but I am considering buying the book as well. Chatter relays several tools for controlling our inner voice and helping it to be a positive force instead of a negative one. (Listen to the inner coach vs. the inner critic). Some examples are the power of ritual, the pronouns we use to refer to ourselves, distancing, positive touch, journaling, the placebo effect, the green effect (nature) and the power of Awe.
A synopsis of the mentioned tools are available at the end of the book for quick reference/application/reminder, thus making this a book that may be valuable to have in your library if you are interested in referring back to it at times.
Recommended for those interested in learning about influencing thinking to be more productive and positive and/or about psychology in general.
