In this book, Dr. Aliza Pressman provides a compassionate and reassuring approach to parenting, emphasizing that there is no one 'right' way to raise good humans. The book is centered around five core principles: Relationship, Reflection, Regulation, Rules, and Repair. These principles are designed to be adaptable and aligned with the parent's own values and their children's unique temperaments. Dr. Pressman encourages parents to practice these principles to build strong relationships, reflect on their own experiences, help their children regulate emotions, establish clear rules, and repair conflicts. The book is praised for its practical advice, warmth, and evidence-based recommendations, making it a valuable resource for parents at all stages of their parenting journey.
In *Chatter*, Ethan Kross delves into the silent conversations we have with ourselves, examining how these internal dialogues shape our lives, work, and relationships. Kross, drawing from his own lab research and real-world case studies, explains how negative self-talk (referred to as 'chatter') can have detrimental effects on our health, mood, and social connections. However, he also provides tools and strategies to manage and harness this inner voice positively. These tools include techniques such as zooming out to gain perspective, using the second person to increase psychological distance, and leveraging the power of nature and placebos. The book is a comprehensive guide on how to transform negative self-talk into a constructive and supportive inner voice.
I’m so excited to welcome back Dr. Ethan Kross, psychologist, neuroscientist, and author of Chatter, for a fascinating conversation about the inner voice we all live with—and how it can help or hurt us. We talk about how to support our kids (and ourselves) when that voice gets loud, critical, or overwhelming. Ethan shares incredibly helpful, science-backed tools for calming the chatter, building resilience, and knowing when support turns into co-rumination.
