Sample Book Insights:

#1 There was a wicked hobgoblin who wanted to make a looking glass that would reflect everything that was good and beautiful in such a way that it would look dreadful or unimportant. When you looked into it, you would not be able to see any of the good or the beautiful in yourself or in the world.

#2 The Inner Critic is the voice that speaks negatively about us and makes everything look ugly. It is the inner voice that criticizes us and speaks about us in a disparaging way. It has been with us since early childhood, absorbing the judgments of the people around us and the expectations of society.

#3 The Inner Critic is the voice in our head that criticizes us for not being good enough or special enough. It is always there, and it attempts to keep us from being happy and effective.

#4 The more you try to change yourself, the stronger your Inner Critic will become. The answer is to learn how not to play the critic game, and that is what this book is about.
