書籍簡介

告訴一個陌生人你在自言自語，你很可能會因為古怪而被撇掉。但事實是，我們所有人都有自己的聲音。我們內心的聲音有助於引導我們朝着目標前進，避免犯錯誤並反思快樂時光。然而，它很快就會成為我們的敵人，咀嚼我們的失誤並重演我們日常的尷尬。在我們不知不覺中，我們的思想就被不斷消極的“顫慄”所劫持。

那麼，這種強大而明智的內心聲音如何變成我們*的批評家呢？我們如何收回控制權？

這些是二十年前世界上最重要的有意識思維專家之一的問題。二十年前，當他開始執行一項大膽的任務時，他就回答了這一問題，即研究我們與自己的對話。在這本備受期待的書中，這位屢獲殊榮的心理學家和神經科學家Ethan Kross的專家揭示了內在聲音的巨大力量，並展示了我們所有人可以用來利用它的工具。這些工具隱藏在我們的視線中，包括我們使用的文字，我們講的故事，與親人的交談，甚至我們的習慣和個人禮儀。微小的調整可以改變我們的自我對話。

喋喋不休的辯論，精湛的研究和充斥着引人入勝的故事，Chatter將改變您與自己的對話，並幫助您過上更幸福，更健康，更有生產力的生活。

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. Our inner voice helps steer us towards our goals, avoid mistakes and reflect on happy moments. Yet just as quickly it can become our enemy, chewing over our mis-steps and replaying our daily embarrassments. Before we know it, our thoughts are being hijacked by constant, negative ‘chatter’.

So how does this inner voice, so powerful and wise, turn into our biggest critic? And how can we take back control?

These are the questions one of the world’s foremost experts on the conscious mind set out to answer twenty years ago, when he started on an audacious mission — to study the conversations we have with ourselves. In this highly anticipated book, that expert, the award-winning psychologist and neuroscientist Ethan Kross, reveals the sheer power of the inner voice, and shows the tools we can all use to harness it. Hidden in plain sight, these tools are in the words we use, the stories we tell, the conversations we have with loved ones, even our habits and personal rituals. Tiny tweaks can transform our self-talk.

Brilliantly argued, expertly researched, and filled with compelling stories, Chatter will change the conversations you have with yourself… and help you lead a happier, healthier, more productive life.
