CHATTER

Psychologist Ethan Kross compellingly narrates his advice on how to control the sometimes negative effects of introspection. Kross explains why we have an inner voice and the importance of taming negative thoughts, and provides scientific tips on how to develop a healthier internal dialogue. In a soothing tone, he sympathetically recounts examples of how unhealthy self-talk affected those in his case studies and offers listeners helpful, enthusiastic advice on how to start controlling their thoughts for a better life. The first step is to remember to stay present. Kross wants listeners to replace damaging thoughts with encouraging words to improve physical and mental health and achieve inner peace.
