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.īut the good news is that we're already equipped with the tools we need to make our inner voice work in our favor. 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.

AN AWARD-WINNING PSYCHOLOGIST REVEALS THE HIDDEN POWER OF OUR INNER VOICE AND SHOWS HOW WE CAN HARNESS IT TO LIVE A HEALTHIER, MORE SATISFYING, AND MORE PRODUCTIVE LIFE.
