Cháchara

In Chatter, acclaimed psychologist Ethan Kross explores the silent conversations we have with ourselves. Drawing on the latest research on the brain and behavior, the author reveals how these conversations shape our lives, our work, and our relationships. Ethan Kross cautions us that indulging in negative and disorienting self-talk, what he calls "chatter," can ruin our health, sap our mood, strain our social relationships, and make us succumb to pressure. But the good news is that we are already equipped with the tools we need to make our inner voice work for us. Through the words we use to think about ourselves, the technologies we adopt, the journals we keep in our drawers, the conversations we have with our loved ones, and the culture we create in our schools and workplaces, we can reshape our internal dialogue. to improve our mental and physical health.
