An award-winning psychologist reveals the hidden power of our inner voice and shows how we can harness it to live a healthier, more satisfying, and more productive life.

“This book is going to fundamentally change some of the most important conversations in your life—the ones you have with yourself.”—Adam Grant, bestselling author of Give and Take

Tell a stranger that you talk to yourself, and you’re likely to get written off as eccentric. But the truth is that we all have a voice in our head. When we talk to ourselves, we often hope to tap into our inner coach but find our inner critic instead. When we’re facing a tough task, our inner coach can buoy us up: Focus—you can do this. But, just as often, our inner critic sinks us entirely: I’m going to fail. They’ll all laugh at me. What’s the use?

In Chatter, acclaimed psychologist Ethan Kross explores the silent conversations we have with ourselves. Interweaving groundbreaking behavioral and brain research from his own lab with real-world case studies—from a pitcher who forgets how to pitch, to a Harvard undergrad negotiating her double life as a spy—Kross explains how these conversations shape our lives, work, and relationships. He warns that giving in to negative and disorienting self-talk—what he calls “chatter”—can tank our health, sink our moods, strain our social connections, and cause us to fold under pressure.

But the good news is that we’re already equipped with the tools we need to make our inner voice work in our favor. These tools are often hidden in plain sight—in the words we use to think about ourselves, the technologies we embrace, the diaries we keep in our drawers, the conversations we have with our loved ones, and the cultures we create in our schools and workplaces.

Brilliantly argued, expertly researched, and filled with compelling stories, Chatter gives us the power to change the most important conversation we have each day: the one we have with ourselves.

密大心理学教授的书，封底的推荐语全都来走近年很火的学术明星。小小一本，主要是说人们常认为对负面情绪需要自省，关注，弄懂原因，向内看，要活在当下，不去想过去和未来。但其实人类在进化中形成的一个思维定式就是想过去想未来，一个劲儿让人只活在当下是反本能的。想法很多向外看，通过一定的距离和高度看自己（比如跳出来，用自己的名字开头说话，而不是用I说话）的烦恼，和外部世界，更宏大的文化，仪式相连接，让生活有序等等都可以让脑子里嘈杂的chatter更安静的有效方法。解释安慰剂效应的部分挺有趣，当我们相信一些事情，大脑里去感知相应感受的区域就会被激发，更加敏感，从而影响身体的感受。而通过和人用科学去解释安慰剂效应的机制可以更加有效的让其起作用。书末有实用工具包。

知乎上有很多学外语的人提问为什么一开始训练阅读时脑子里总有一个声音跟读，此书是最佳答案。儿童经常自言自语重复父母的指令，随着语言的发展周期成人开始把孩童时的自言自语转为大脑里的inner voice，跟爱人大吵结束后是没法突然静下来读一本书的，因为脑子里的inner voice会继续争吵。一日三省吾身，这是introspection，它的局限时受制于自己的无知，你不知道的信息面，more introspective也是徒增烦恼，同时也阐述了为什么喜欢在社交网上抱怨的人会让人疏离。豆瓣评分低仅仅是读者基数太少，Goodreads上五千人标记已读有4.02分。

全是老掉牙的东西，有些内容还是强行捆绑到“内省对话”这个话题上。 Ethan Kross 跟有些学术大佬一样，似乎一直活在自己的信息茧房里，他们在学术上都是一流好手，但他们真的不知道普通读者对于相关话题大概有怎样的基本认知。这本书里被作者当宝贝一样捧出来的东西其实早就在无数本科普书里提烂了。
