Tame Your Inner Critic

How to Tell Better Stories to Yourself, About Yourself

De: Clare Bowditch

Narrado por: Clare Bowditch

As children, we dreamt of the wonderful things we were going to do when we were grown-ups.

Now that we’re grown-ups, why aren’t we out there, living the lives of our dreams?

This fun and original guide will teach you how to bypass your self-doubt and take ACTION.

Using her experience as a storyteller, broadcaster, and (undercover) life-coach, Clare Bowditch collaborates with neuroscientist Dr Charlotte Keating to detail useful Cognitive Behavioural Therapy concepts that will help you tame your inner critic. With practical steps and Clare’s trademark humour and intimate storytelling style, Tame Your Inner Critic will teach you the skills to retrain your brain and achieve your big fat dreams.

Clare Bowditch is an ARIA award-winning musician, a Logie award-nominated actor, and has been named Rolling Stone Woman of the Year for her contribution to culture. In 2019 Clare Bowditch released her debut best-selling memoir, Your Own Kind of Girl, which was short-listed for Australian Audiobook of the Year, and won an ABIA for Best New Australian Writer. In 2010, Clare overcame her Gen-Xer cynicism and trained to become a life coach with a specialty in teaching big-hearted humans how to overcome their self-doubt. Since then she’s had the pleasure of sharing speaking bills with the likes of Brené Brown and Marianne Williamson, where she is best known for teaching large audiences to overcome their collective terror of public singing, and sing anyway, in three part harmony, in fifteen minutes or less.

great concept

the storyteller's tone of voice at times
it was just to high pitched for me personally.

Not a fan of the sound effects.

The material itself has some pretty useful information, but I was not a fan of the sound effects and playful banter. I found it to be quite annoying and distracting, but I guess everyone is different.

Solid advice. Immensely fun.

5 chapters, all under 30 minutes, but solid advice for dealing with your inner critic. I was shocked to find that my inner critic is a mean five year old named Jimbo.

Some good tips

I wasn’t excited about the way it was presented. Some things were repetitive or lingered to get to the point. It’s set up more like a podcast. So the style might appeal to someone else more than it did for me. However, I did enjoy some if the tips and activities they presented in this book/podcast 5 part series.

Simple, concise, effective

A Quick roadmap to recovering your self-esteem and moving forward in your goals. Simple. Concise. Effective.

Fun fun fun

That is a great stuff to listen! Fun, interesting and useful for sure!! will replay a few times this book to enjoy all little detaols.

This is a good book

I love this book I will tell people about it I would rate it again

The techniques

The easy way the message was told. It made it easy to remember the steps.

A great eye opening listen

Nobody likes to admit they aren't kind to themselves. Clare and the gang make self help and self awareness light and humorous while still hitting home with the feels and brain science. I listened to this like a year ago and recently became aware that I was using the info so I had to listen again. And just like Clare says at the end, (spoiler alert) they were still there for me. Thanks for making it easier to remember to love myself. Good on ya.

A Must Listen!

I loved the playful and energetic flow. it kept me engaged and hoping for more!
