Soul without Shame

Liberate yourself from the limitations and judgments imposed by your inner critic, and develop “soul qualities” to experience freedom and vitalityWhether we call it the inner critic or the superego, most of us have a judge within who nags us and is constantly on our case. Byron Brown provides a comprehensive guide to understanding how the inner critic works as well as practical, positive suggestions for breaking free of it. Using straightforward language and everyday examples, you’ll explore:   •  Where the inner judge came from   •  How it operates   •  Why it trips us up   •  Why we believe we need it   •  How to develop awareness of it   •  How to disengage from it   •  The "e;soul qualities"e; we can develop to weaken its influenceEach chapter begins with an episode of the story of Frank and Sue to illustrate the insidious nature of the inner critic inside all of us. A simple exercise is also included at the end of each chapter, designed to help readers move along the path of self-discovery.
