About this listen
Talking to ourselves - and learning to listen
We all speak to ourselves on a daily basis. Whether it’s out loud or an internal (or infernal) commentary, we all practice self-talk, and how we speak to ourselves can have a significant effect on our emotions and subsequent actions.
Some people’s self-talk is mostly about the future while, for others, it’s an internal dialogue about the past. Some self-talk is positive and upbeat, while other self-talk is harsh, critical, or defeatist. Self-talk can focus on other people, but, more often than not, it is about ourselves - and is often negative.
If you listen carefully, you’ll notice that your inner conversation reflects thoughts and emotions. Self-talk isn’t random. It exhibits patterns that repeat themselves. And everyone has their own characteristic self-talk that is uniquely theirs.
In The Science of Self Talk, mindfulness expert Ian Tuhovsky explains how we can rewrite the script when it comes to our internal communication. Through a series of simple exercises for use in daily life, you can understand your own self-talk in order to change the conversation.
This unique book covers:
- Constructive self-talk and dysfunctional self-talk - and knowing the difference
- The impact of negative self-talk
- Learned helplessness
- Positive self-talk - challenge or threat?
- The Pareto Principle which says that, for many events, roughly 80 percent of the effects come from 20 percent of the causes
- Creating the right circumstances for motivation
- Getting to know yourself
- Loving yourself - emotional intelligence
- Turning down the volume on your self-talk
Self-talk is a little like turning on the director’s commentary on a movie. You can simply watch the movie, or you can add in commentary about what’s happening in it - this is, in a nutshell, what most of us do in our daily lives. The Science of Self Talk can help you to rewrite the script of your movie and improve the way that you - and others - see yourself.

helpful
lots of self-help stuff has too much BS for me. This book is straightforward and practical without too much bunk.

A must read
It's an easy, short read and if you get the audible version, the narrator is one of the best I've heard. If you're going through depression and/or anxiety and the little voice inside your heard is running your life, this book really makes you aware of your bad habits. Already I've started to break the patterns.

Wow! Fantastic!
I have just listened to this book in one sitting. I followed all of the suggested exercises and plan to do them again and again with greater depth.
I have always thought that it would be impossible to rewrite my negative self-talk and now I am extremely inspired and feeling a lot more positive and confident, that it can be done.
This book offered great examples which would relate to everyone in some way, with practical ideas on how to change your thinking and become the better version of yourself, which you deserve. Thank you!

Self-talk
1) I really like the idea where you explained that we need to start talking to ourselves like we speak to the loved one.
2) I also like the idea where we use the third person noun while talking to myself. That makes it very easy to look at the problem from a different angle.
Thank you.
