TAKE YOUR
thoughts like “I don’t know what I’m doing” and “no one will take me seriously” before a big presentation. But few resources give you precise strategies for how to engage in positive self-talk effectively so you can make those negative impulses go away. “Chatter” is an exception to the rule, perhaps because it was written by an actual psychologist! Leaning heavily on scientific research and engaging case studies, Kross offers concrete tips for reducing negative thoughts (what he calls “chatter”) and giving your self-confidence a boost. One of his biggest tips, which drives a big chunk of the book, is the importance of creating “mental distance” during your internal pep talks. Mental distance is exactly what it sounds like — stepping back mentally from your worries and problems so you can gain a new perspective. Kross goes over several ways to do this, including trying to “look back” at your current situation from one, five, or 10 years later; comparing this hurdle to tougher ones in your life; and shifting your internal monologue to third person so you can try talking to yourself as if you were your own friend. With these strategies, we can transform our thoughts, rather than avoid them.
Of course, those suggestions just scratch the surface of what’s offered in the book. Kross also goes over how to help your friends, colleagues, and employees eliminate chatter, and how mastering your inner voice will help you thrive under pressure. The magazine Inc. named “Chatter” one of the "4 Business Books That Will Accelerate Your Success In 2022” — don’t miss it.
INTERNAL PEP TALKS UP A
NOTCH WITH TIPS FROM ‘CHATTER’
You probably know about the benefits of positive self-talk, but have you mastered it? If not — or if you’ve never heard that phrase — "Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It" by Ethan Kross may be the most important book you read in 2022. Positive self-talk is something most of us engage in daily. It’s the “you can do this” nudge you give yourself to combat dark
OUR CLIENTS SAY IT BEST “WOW! Case Barnett and his team are AWESOME, especially Dena. We can’t thank them enough for all their hard work. About a year ago, my dad got into a really bad accident that cost his life. We were devastated, stressed out, and overwhelmed. No one wants to get into an accident and deal with the aftermath. We are so grateful to have met Case and Dena because their team made this entire process so seamless and easy for us. Every time we were on the phone with Dena and Case, we noticed how much they truly cared about their clients. We felt a huge relief when they handled all the things related to the accident, but most importantly dealing with the other person’s insurance. Dena handled all of the correspondence with the other party, relieving us of the messy conversations. Case, Dena, and their team are great communicators. I’m sure a lot happened behind closed doors, and they like to keep you out of it as much as possible, but if we ever had questions, they are very quick to respond. They also
kept us informed about the case as the months passed by. We are thankful for Case, Dena, and their awesome team. We finally came to a settlement, and we are please with the outcome after a year. For anyone looking for a personal lawyer, call Case Barnett and his team. You will be well taken care of.” –Joseph D.
