“Within the room that is our mind, many people spread anger, guilt, worry, and resentment. Dr. Eric Maisel teaches us how the mind has the ability to enter into self-conversation and dynamic self-regulation to change all that. The results are profound and bring expanded awareness, insight, inspiration, creativity, and focused concentration.”
—Lee Jampolsky, PhD, bestselling author of Healing the Addictive Personality
“With humor and compassion, Maisel describes more than fifty exercises for trading in one’s self-pestering thoughts for healthy indwelling. The book’s engaging and practical tools teach readers to be gentle with themselves and achieve new heights of understanding and creativity. This book is not just inspirational; it brings profound relief.”
