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 book, I’m going to get the hard copy too
I’m a stress and burnout coach, and many of the tools I know already, but many I did not. I’ve spent years collecting these tools for my clients to use and here they all are in one book. Add in some productivity tools, mindfulness tools and reframing tools, and you’ve got everything you need to live a stress free productive life. Great job Ethan Cross.

I found this helpful and accessible
I already do some of the techniques, but it's nice to think I may do them knowingly now, with purpose, and have a list to refer to when the chatter is to loud to implement them. I appreciate the inclusion of how the author guides his own children too. I think the author did well with this book, and narrated it well too.

Very practical advice
I related to this immediately for it’s content , but also the narrator maintains an active and lively intonation.
I found it useful even before the book was finished.

Relatable and Helpful
For me, I found this book at a time where I was starting to face into some of the inner dialogie challenges that I had ignored for some time, so it was not only relatable but also very timely. Ethan Kross has captured and explained inner “chatter” in a way that made thorough sense and it gives some really wonderful tools to manage it yourself and in ways to help others.
This is not a step by step guide to self help though, if thats what you are seeking you may not find that here but it will contextualise some of the challenges really well. Honestly a great book and has helped me immensely!

Must listen
We all have a voice in our head... except this voice just so happens to be a book about the voices in our head.

Love the practical tools list at the end
This is a great book! Good mix of evidence and annecdotes, to make it informative, practical and very engaging at the same time.
It gives you the tools you need to calm a mind prone to spiralling thoughts. I've already started recounting methods when I find myself struggling, particularly at work when I get a pang of imposter syndrome or I feel burnt out and disengaged.
It's not too short or too long, just the right length for the volume of information in my opinion.
