Stop Negative Self-Talk: Why...

Rowan E. Sages

The voice in your head is relentless.

"You're not good enough.""You should have done better.""Everyone else has it figured out but you."

For many people, this inner critic becomes the loudest voice in their lives—questioning every decision, minimizing every success, and turning even small mistakes into proof of failure.

But the inner critic isn’t random, and it isn’t a sign that something is wrong with you.

It’s a learned psychological pattern.

In Stop Negative Self-Talk: Why Your Inner Critic Won't Shut Up, Rowan E. Sages explores where this voice comes from, why it developed, and what it is actually trying to protect you from.

Through clear psychological insight and compassionate reflection, you’ll learn:

• Why the inner critic develops in the first place
• How criticism from early environments becomes internalized
• Why high-achieving and thoughtful people often experience the loudest self-criticism
• The hidden psychological functions the inner critic serves
• The real costs of living under constant self-attack

Most importantly, this audiobook helps you see the pattern clearly—because real change begins with understanding.

This is Book 1 of the Stop Negative Self-Talk series.

Book 1 focuses on understanding the inner critic and the psychological patterns behind it.
Book 2, The Practice of Self-Compassionate Action, provides practical tools for responding to that voice in everyday life.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in cycles of self-criticism, doubt, or shame, this audiobook will help you understand why that voice exists—and why it doesn’t have to control your life.

Sandra Matz

As algorithms become increasingly adept at accessing the human mind, they also become more and more powerful at controlling it, enticing us to buy a certain product or vote for a certain political candidate. Some of us say this technological trend is no big deal. Others consider it one of the greatest threats to humanity. But what if the truth is more nuanced and mind-bending than that? 
 
 
 
In Mindmasters, Columbia Business School professor Sandra Matz reveals in fascinating detail how big data offers insights into the most intimate aspects of our psyches and how these insights empower an external influence over the choices we make. This can be creepy, manipulative, and downright harmful, with scandals like that of British consulting firm Cambridge Analytica being merely the tip of the iceberg. Yet big data also holds enormous potential to help us live healthier, happier lives—for example, by improving our mental health, encouraging better financial decisions, or enabling us to break out of our echo chambers. 
 
 
 
With passion and clear-eyed precision, Matz shows us how to manage psychological targeting and redesign the data game.
