Virtual Author Talks: <i>Chatter</i>

The most important conversation we have each day isnt with our boss, spouse, or friends: its the one we have with ourselves. When facing a challenging task, our inner voice can motivate us and help us keep our focus. But often, we come up against the nagging voice that tells us we cant do it or that people will laugh at us if we try. The million-dollar question is how can we transform our self-saboteur, determined to undermine our success, into an internal life coach that will buoy us up and help us expand our potential?
Enter Ethan Kross. A world-class psychological scientist, Kross has written one of modern history's most definitive guides to mastering self-talk. In Chatter, he uses a blend of cutting-edge science (from his own lab) and real-world case studies to help us harness the power of our inner voice. The tools are all around usfrom the objects we surround ourselves with to our relationships with others, the physical spaces we inhabit, and the digital worlds we interact in. This talk is a lively exploration of how we can use those tools to make our inner voice work in our favor, and it answers some valuable questions along the way. This program is presented in partnership with Marathon Center for the Performing Arts.
