Banish Your Inner Critic

This book has a sole focus: CREATIVITY.This was unknown to me when purchasing the book.However, I found it just revolutionary.This book is the ultimate weapon and armoury to combat your ever cruel and pestering inner critic.It unearths all the troubles and constant irritation you feel from your bully, gets you to name it and gets you more under wraps with what it really does to you on a daily basis.This book has brought out the true fighter in me and has given me more resilience towards my inner critic, I now find myself calling it by its name and going to battle with it and feel like I am having the upper hand.What denise is teaching you is how to never doubt yourself, never let go of your true inner self and stand tall over your bully and aim for success and complete formality over your life and wellbeing.

I love the simple insights and great advise and it has definitely helped me.

Months after reading a self-help book, I can never seem to recall those "a-ha!" moments but this book is different in my experience. There's a wonderful chapter about nurturing your inner child that really resonated with me. I found myself reflecting on it several times in a different context recently as I'm working on losing weight and I've always been ruthlessly critical of my body. This book is helpful beyond the realms of creativity and digs deeper, and for that I am grateful to the author.

I’m a type-A perfectionist and struggle a lot with fear and self-doubt in my professional world. This book came to the rescue. It is fabulous and super power-packed. If you have that horrid voice of criticism that holds you back from being your best self or creating your best work, Denise gives direct insight and instruction on how to shift your mindset and shut that bad boy down. In the end, Denise helps you clear up mental space to invite your best creative energy. Also this book is super dense with life lessons, inspiring messages, food for thought, funny stories, and much, much more. It is an intense read while also being very engaging and humorous. Denise is amazing, always, especially when you get the chance to see her speak. But this book is a whole other level of her brilliance. I highly, highly recommend this book.

Well share it with friends too, but buy them a great gift!I view this almost as a workbook. Something I will come back to again for the exercises and reminders. Denise Jacobs guide's you around natural feelings of self doubt that we call get from time to time, but more importantly gives you tools to assess those thoughts for what they are. You can know they are there, kindly thank them, then move them out of the way.Also, don't think that if your work (or personal life) isn't "creative" this book isn't for you. As mentioned in the book, we are all unique and we all bring that to the table in our work and home lives. All aspects of what we do draw upon our own creativity to analyze, solve problems, apply what we know to them.I found this book really helpful and really will be coming back to it again!
