Loading... The Art of Talking to Yourself: Self-Awareness Meets the Inner Conversationby Vironika Tugaleva
None No current Talk conversations about this book.  RaggedyMe | Aug 12, 2023 |   I've always been interested in psychology and human development. I've read text books, self help books, mindfulness books, religious books and talked to wise elders and enlightened others. I've heard things like, "You have to love yourself before you can really love others." I've even used such phrases at the right time in conversations with others without really knowing what it meant. I've wondered about self-actualization and individuation...how will I know when I'm there? What does the process look like? Where am I in the process? It all seemed so nebulous, until now. I really "get it" after reading this book. The author doesn't just throw cliches and silly exercises at you; she gives you highly personal example showing how the process of inner development works. Of course, my internal triggers are not the same as hers, but the examples gave me a context that I could apply to my inner world. I was able to step back and see my inner work, both the done and the not done. I know where I've been, where I am, where I'm going, and when I'll "get there." The book didn't tell me this directly, but it educated me on how a healthy inner dialog leads the way to enlightenment. (  ) RaggedyMandy | Apr 22, 2020 | no reviews | add a review
This might look like a self-help audiobook. It might even sound like one. Once you dive into it, however, you will find some differences. Unlike others of its kind, this audiobook does not promise results or give expert opinions. It is neither a miracle cure nor a magic potion. It does not pretend to have all the answers. Rather, this audiobook is a plea for self-trust and a gentle guide to self-awareness. Instead of helping you become who you think you should be, The Art of Talking to Yourself hopes to introduce you to someone more interesting: who you are. So this audiobook will not fix you. But if the words herein have their intended effect, you will reach the end realizing you do not need to be fixed. This audiobook, rather than a cure, is an exploration - a curious adventure into your inner mystery. If it inspires you to understand yourself better, it has done its job.
