A curious introduction to extreme self-doubt

I started listening to this audiobook because of friend who has a very loud inner critic and I wanted to help him out. I learnt this is more common than I knew and some techniques to work with. The author is funny, although it took me a couple of minutes to get used to her style, and her voice is full of happiness and understanding. The first 3 chapters are the strongest, but the whole series has been enlightening.

I laughed, teared up, loved it

I loved the interactive, conversational nature of the episodes. Some pretty intense emotional stuff but made enjoyable with the fun music. I hope there's another series in the making 😁

Heartily Recommended

I loved this. I found the radio DJ humour undermined the rest of the content which is a shame because Clare is genuinely funny otherwise. I still heartily recommend this series 😁

Absolutely loved it!

This was a very entertaining, informative and useful series. The format is fun and easy to follow. The chatty style and Clare's comforting voice explaining the techniques from a very personal point of view, coupled with the brilliant 'brain science' explanations, make it a very worthwhile listen.

Once you're 'in', this is VERY good indeed

As others have noted, Claire's presentational stylings are, let's say, unorthodox - which will not be everyone's cup of tea. But I drank deep from the teapot, friends, and I can confirm, this gives the listener plenty to dunk their biscuit of inner self critique into.

Much stuff designed to help us help ourselves is, by necessity, effectively restating the obvious and offering techniques and exercises to use to act as reminders or ways of retraining our thinking. All present and correct on that score: for example, "to avoid procrastination, don't procrastinate". However, Claire keeps it perfectly balanced in terms of explanation/ instruction, humour and compassion. And the episodes aren't overly long.

Recommended, with pleasure. Glad I stumbled upon this: I'll certainly be giving it a re-listen soon.

Utter torture!

I downloaded this as I’d read an interview with one of the authors , yeeh gods. The reality of hearing the , what sounds like a comedy show mixed with hilarity / self help awareness, is so confusing , incongruous and ridiculous.
Completely negates any wisdom that might be in the book. Impossible to take it seriously or listen to.

well good lusten

worth listening again and again. a lot to take in to give your brain a nudge

Good listen

An informative & insightful listen. Overperformed at times made it a bit annoying/ cringe worthy at points.
