Personal development is not achieved simply through self-help guides or by repeating positive affirmations over and over again. This approach may only leave you more frustrated and self-critical. Eddie Reece and Courtright discuss how to deal with our vicious self-talk by regulating our nervous systems and practicing kind dialogue with ourselves. They explore how to stop the infinite loop of self-argument by approaching your inner world with the principles of kindness, curiosity, and compassion, seeking first to understand even your most negative self. They also discuss how to achieve genuine personal peace by being unafraid to embrace your vulnerabilities and getting rid of the stigma around therapy.
