Synopsis

The Inner Critic judges you, demeans you, and tells you who you should be. It undermines your self-confidence and makes you feel bad about yourself. This book identifies seven types of Inner Critics, each of which judges you about something different. There is a quiz to help you understand which types of Critic are a problem for you, how they operate, and their underlying reasons for attacking you. Most important, this book will help you develop an aspect of yourself that we call the Inner Champion, which supports and encourages you. It is a magic bullet for dealing with the negative impacts of your Inner Critics. There is a different type of Inner Champion for each of the seven Critics. This book will help you awaken your Inner Champion and then practice activating it in your life whenever you need it. Activating Your Inner Champion is more than a book. It includes * An online workbook * An online quiz * Recorded guided meditations * An online community

From the Inside Flap:

Are you ready to stop beating yourself up for every little problem in your life? Help is on the way! Activating Your Inner Champion provides you with a positive and powerful way of dealing with attacks from your inner critic. The concept of the Inner Champion is a brilliant way of handling this difficult psychological issue by developing an ideal inner voice to support you throughout all aspects of your life. I loved following the hyperlinks to web-based support for exploring your Critic and activating your Champion. This book will help many people feel good about themselves and move through the world with confidence. Bravo, Jay Earley and Bonnie Weiss!-- Matt Weinstein, Inspirational speaker, author, Managing To Have Fun
I found Activating Your Inner Champion and the associated Workbook to be a very smart, engaging way to help me get to know my Inner Critic parts.  I was delighted to notice myself looking forward to doing this practice during the day. The "Profiling" process helped me to identify and map each Critic.  The simple guided diary formats showed me my Inner Critics' patterns of thinking, feeling and behavior after a few days time. Additionally, I learned how to set compassionate limits with punitive Critics that wanted the best for me but were often destructive to my self-worth.  -- Kathy F. Grace, MA, LPC, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Activating Your Inner Champion Instead of Your Inner Critic, along with associated online tools, helped raise my awareness of Inner critic types and the common messages I receive from them.  More importantly, I gained resources for not only noticing these habitual patterns but responding to them in new ways.  The suggested statements from the Inner Champion respect the Inner critic's original motivation and offer interpretations that are more current, instead of based in the past.  The writing is accessible and focuses on application to everyday experience.  I recommend this book for anyone seeking a positive approach to personal development.--Sally Durgan
