In this life-changing book, writer and spiritual coach Neal Allen teaches us a stunning new method for quieting the inner critic. "Better Days will help you get to know your inner critic, and quiet its yammering, and in so doing, get to know the person you were born to be." - Anne Lamott, Author of Dusk Night Dawn, Bird by Bird, and others.

What if your superego has it wrong? That snarky little bully in your head—you know the one. You've lived under its weight for decades. I'm a fraud, I'm lazy, I need to work harder, I need to be tougher, funnier, calmer... I need to stay quiet, look pretty, stop showing off, I need to put others before me, I need to put myself first, I need to be perfect, I need to hide who I really am. Sound familiar? You know that its scolding voice is harmful to you, but you can't will it away. You accept a life with short periods of peace and long stretches of stress and anxiety. But you don't have to.

In this revolutionary new book, Better Days: Tame Your Inner Critic, writer and spiritual coach Neal Allen examines a critical aspect of the human psyche.

Building on Freud's idea that the superego necessarily forms a person's 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 doesn't belong.

Through simple and engaging exercises and explorations, Neal leads you into meeting, confronting, and ultimately quieting your own inner critic. By 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 compassionate.

By quieting the inner critic, you can access your true self, your authentic desires, and your innate wisdom. You can break free from the limitations of the superego and live a life that is more fulfilling, joyful, and purposeful.

So, if you're ready to quiet the inner critic and live a better life, pick up a copy of Better Days: Tame Your Inner Critic today. You'll be glad you did.
