Summary

As children, we dreamt of the wonderful things we were going to do when we were grown-ups.

Now that we’re grown-ups, why aren’t we out there, living the lives of our dreams?

This fun and original guide will teach you how to bypass your self-doubt and take ACTION.

Using her experience as a storyteller, broadcaster, and (undercover) life-coach, Clare Bowditch collaborates with neuroscientist Dr Charlotte Keating to detail useful Cognitive Behavioural Therapy concepts that will help you tame your inner critic. With practical steps and Clare’s trademark humour and intimate storytelling style, Tame Your Inner Critic will teach you the skills to retrain your brain and achieve your big, fat dreams.

Clare Bowditch is an ARIA award-winning musician, a Logie award-nominated actor, and has been named Rolling Stone Woman of the Year for her contribution to culture. In 2019 Clare Bowditch released her debut best-selling memoir, Your Own Kind of Girl, which was short-listed for Australian Audiobook of the Year, and won an ABIA for Best New Australian Writer. In 2010, Clare overcame her Gen-Xer cynicism and trained to become a life coach with a specialty in teaching big-hearted humans how to overcome their self-doubt. Since then she’s had the pleasure of sharing speaking bills with the likes of Brené Brown and Marianne Williamson, where she is best known for teaching large audiences to overcome their collective terror of public singing, and sing anyway, in three part harmony, in fifteen minutes or less.

Turning the volume down on your inner critical thoughts

Hugely enjoyable and funny, this is also full of clear and important messages and techniques for those of us whose heads are full of voices of doubt and discouragement.

Not useful

About everything and nothing like most of this self-help book. There are no actual tips how to time your own critic, the story itself is watery and has been told by many others. Nothing new in it. And performance is slightly irritating

You can’t be serious

I have had PTSD and this helped me save my life.
It’s serious and funny and clever at the same time. I’ve listened to it three times and will again. If you have an inner critic then this is for you.

Useful and engaging content

Really loved the content, knowledge and storytelling but the music was really jarring and overpowering.

All learning should be this much fun!

A self help toolkit for overcoming the inner critic in all of us. Brilliant. Relatable.

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 😁

Funny, but could start better

For me it was quite hard to get into it at first. Think the warmup could have gone smoother. Other than that, lots of fun and overall helpful
