Based on her wildly popular class at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, Professor Cassie Holmes guides us in how to immediately improve our lives by better investing our time.

Perhaps you want to be nicer to yourself but don’t really know how to get there. Or maybe you’re someone who assumes self-criticism is a permanent part of your personality. Rest assured you’re not alone. Millions of people struggle with the toll that excessive self-criticism takes on their minds, energy levels, jobs, and relationships. And problems with self-talk vary dramatically from one person to the next: they can appear as mild but persistent inner criticism, full-blown self-loathing, or the pain of internalized oppression or abuse.

Publisher's Summary
National Best Seller
An award-winning psychologist reveals the hidden power of our inner voice and shows how to harness it to combat anxiety, improve physical and mental health, and deepen our relationships with others.
Longlisted for the Porchlight Business Book Award
“A masterpiece.” (Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of Grit • Malcolm Gladwell, Susan Cain, Adam Grant, and Daniel H. Pink’s Next Big Idea Club Winter 2021 Winning Selection)
One of the best new books of the year - The Washington Post, BBC, USA Today, CNN Underscored, Shape, Behavioral Scientist, PopSugar • Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, and Shelf Awareness starred reviews
Tell a stranger that you talk to yourself, and you’re likely to get written off as eccentric. But the truth is that we all have a voice in our head. When we talk to ourselves, we often hope to tap into our inner coach but find our inner critic instead. When we’re facing a tough task, our inner coach can buoy us up: Focus - you can do this. But, just as often, our inner critic sinks us entirely: I’m going to fail. They’ll all laugh at me. What’s the use?
In Chatter, acclaimed psychologist Ethan Kross explores the silent conversations we have with ourselves. 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. 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.
But the good news is that we’re already equipped with the tools we need to make our inner voice work in our favor. These tools are often hidden in plain sight - in the words we use to think about ourselves, the technologies we embrace, the diaries we keep in our drawers, the conversations we have with our loved ones, and the cultures we create in our schools and workplaces.
Brilliantly argued, expertly researched, and filled with compelling stories, Chatter gives us the power to change the most important conversation we have each day: the one we have with ourselves.
What the critics say
“There’s something deeply mysterious, even awesome, about our inner voice, the means by which we make ourselves aware of who we are and what we think. Kross has good ideas about how to manage and control this voice.” (The New Yorker)
“Are there right and wrong ways to communicate with yourself, and if so, are there techniques that might usefully be employed by those with inner voices that are just a little too loud?... Kross has found answers to some, if not all, of these questions.... [Chatter] could hardly be published at a more opportune moment.” (The Guardian)
“This compelling collection of stories examines the power that we have to harness our positive and negative thoughts through the conversations we have with ourselves in silent and the incredible that’s already within us to embrace our highest self.” (CNN)

Gets you really thinking about how you think!
An engaging audio experience, read by the author and his passion for the subject shines through. I really appreciated the author’s personal story as a major driver behind his own research, the findings discussed supported by easy to understand scientific research details. I gained a deeper understanding of how my inner thoughts can help or hinder my actions and how to take constructive queues from them. This is a must read for parents, too. I wish that I had these meaningful insights sooner in my life which would have helped me better self manage my own thoughts and emotions. Thank you, Ethan!

This Coach Loved It!
I could not devour it fast enough and will certainly read it again!!
The application of this content is vast; I can hardly think of a professional who wouldnt be able to use this information personally or in work with clients.
The principles are presented clearly and are backed by research, often the author's own.
As a professional coach, my experience is that virtually every situation clients bring has an element of chatter. This book will become an indispensable part of my library, and I'm likely to refer to it frequently. I've already recommended it to many colleagues!

Great and actionnable
This book was great, filled with actionnable examples. Great, simple and easy structure.
The voice was easy to listen to and follow.

Helpful. Scientific. Intuitive. Simple.
Loved how steps/techniques that so intuitive and simple have scientific fundamentals and are being actively researched and written about. Nothing in this book is new or revolutionary; but the articulation of the specifics of these techniques have the potential to be extremely helpful by encouraging adoption. I learnt a lot - somethings that I knew which are now more firmly grounded in science and some other things which made we go “well of course that makes sense” . Great book - simple, short, helpful.

Basic Breakdown of Inner Monologue
I’m not a big fan of self-help books but this one served its purpose with an introductory explanation of what chatter is and why it exists. The author’s voice was easy to listen to and he was very knowledgeable of the topic. I didn’t find his tactics for harnessing chatter that helpful but maybe that’s just me. If you’re looking for a deeper dive on this subject you may want to look elsewhere.
