Publisher's Synopsis
Liberate yourself from the limitations and judgments imposed by your inner critic, and develop "soul qualities" to experience freedom and vitality
Whether we call it the inner critic or the superego, most of us have a judge within who nags us and is constantly on our case. Byron Brown provides a comprehensive guide to understanding how the inner critic works as well as practical, positive suggestions for breaking free of it. Using straightforward language and everyday examples, you'll explore:
Where the inner judge came from
How it operates
Why it trips us up
Why we believe we need it
How to develop awareness of it
How to disengage from it
The "soul qualities" we can develop to weaken its influence
Each chapter begins with an episode of the story of Frank and Sue to illustrate the insidious nature of the inner critic inside all of us. A simple exercise is also included at the end of each chapter, designed to help readers move along the path of self-discovery.
