Shambhala Publications The Self-Talk Workout

I've been going through a rough patch the past year or two. This book is like seeing a therapist without making an appointment. A lot of great tips and useful information. I'll be rereading it a few times before I tuck it on the shelf.

This book is so useful, no matter what your background and beliefs. It's a combination of research-backed suggestions, self-help suggestions, and how to cut yourself a break sometimes. The writing is relatable and clear. I even got an extra copy to give someone else!

I teach a motivation class - and bought this book for several students

I loved how practical this was in terms of fast little things you can start doing immediately. Also loved some of the examples from the author's own life. Would make a great gift for any anxious/over-thinkers too - being helpful but also a fun and easy read.

I read this book with my women's leadership book club. I was skeptical at first, but the strategies Rachel presents are SO HELPFUL. She's right - at first they do seem silly, but THEY MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I particularly enjoyed Spot the Success, and our whole group appreciated the Inhale, Exhale strategy. It's definitely up there in terms of books that have made a significant difference in my life. I've tried a million things to change my self-talk, including seeing many professionals, and this book was it.
