You accept a life with short periods of peace and long stretches of stress and anxiety. But you dont have to. n nIn this revolutionary new book, Better Days: Tame Your Inner Critic, writer and spiritual coach, Neal Allen, examines a critical aspect of the human psyche that often gets ignored - the superego. n nBuilding on Freuds idea that the superego necessarily forms a persons moral conscience, Neal explains how this voice in your head develops in childhood as a survival mechanism, but when no longer needed for protection, camps out in your mind like a personal parasite. A parasite that doesnt belong. n nThrough simple and engaging exercises and explorations, Neal leads you into meeting, confronting, and ultimately quieting your own inner critic. n nBy shedding off the burden of the superego, you can overcome tired patterns of reward and punishment, reduce the self-talk that harms you, and ultimately clear an open space for the life you deserve, one that is gentler and more peaceful. n nJust imagine...if all that nasty, negative chatter in your head just evaporated ... what would you do next? n nBetter days are just ahead.n nn
