Make Peace with Your Mind: How Mindfulness and Compassion Can Free You from Your Inner Critic

Half way through the book I already feel pretty much refreshed. Reading this book is like to communicate with my own counselor who knows me really good.

I've read several books on improving my meditation practice and gaining some insight into my mind and this and author's "Awake in the Wild" are my favorites. The book is written with profound compassion and caring. The writing is simple and direct and easy to understand and apply. Exercises are provided to assist with addressing that incessant, compelling voice in our head that gives us negative messages that often simply aren't true and that only serve to create suffering. Each of us has that "inner critic" and each of us could benefit from reading this fine work.I cannot recommend it highly enough.

The inner critic stops all growth, diminishes our life force and crushes our soul. With kindness and clarity Mark Coleman gives us proven practices to tame the critic’s wild ways and access the more reliable guidance of true wisdom. The inner critic-everybody's got one — so everybody needs a wise book like this one.

Enjoyed reading this book, which will now be the next subject in our Sangha book club. Very easy to read with very easy practices to be applied in every day circumstances.A compassionate view on our self criticism, to start looking at the world through softer and more loving lenses.

Was going for something a bit more mindfulness based, but there is a lot of good info here and towards the end some good strategies to help with the critic. With the forward from Tara Beach I thought it would've been more spiritually based. Excellent for beginners!

Love this book! I would recommend it to everyone. Smooth read, easy to grasp. At the end of each chapter are meditations or short exercises to relate the subject to your own life. So glad to have founds this one!

Mark Coleman skillfully shares insights from Buddhist and western psychology. The inner critic has it's place in our inner psychic survival roadmap but this book clearly presents antidotes to harsh self-judgement including self-awareness and self-love (kindness). Recommended.

Quiet your mind from everyday noise.understand how you can be your own worst enemy.replace the negative voice in your mind with wonderful suggestions.

Simple, clear, inspiring and workable explanation of how my mind works and how to improve my relation with my thoughts

This book really gets to the detail on our inner critic. I discovered a lot about how to deal with it and will be using this as a reference book for many years to come. Superb!

Die warmen Worte sowie die vielen Tipps wie man es schafft nicht auf unseren eigenen Kritiker zu hören sind eine Wohltat.

excellent book for anyone with a judgmental mind. Very clear and easy to follow with wonderful examples throughout. It helps you understand where your inner critic(s) originated and how to learn to live with them - or not!
