Description

Do you live with a negative inner voice that demeans and undermines you, insisting you're not smart enough, successful enough, fit enough, productive enough, or just not good enough?

Do you ever feel like your own worst enemy?

Maybe you beat yourself up, put yourself down, or push yourself way too hard.

Perhaps you doubt your abilities or denigrate your accomplishments.

Do you have a cruel inner critic constantly saying, "You suck."

Can you relate? If so, you're not alone.

In Sometimes I Think I Suck, Tal Fagin shares her personal journey from an ambitious, hard-driving lawyer to a contented, easy-going life coach, showing how she shed the perfectionism that once caused her so much pain. Drawing from years of experience coaching high achievers and other deeply self-critical clients, she offers practical tools and exercises to help you silence your inner critic, develop greater self-compassion, and find more profound satisfaction.

Through relatable stories and actionable advice, this book guides you in clarifying and confronting the thoughts and beliefs that keep you mired in self-doubt. It teaches you how to live a more confident and joyful life by transforming that nagging, niggling voice into a source of strength. Whether you want to advance in your career, elevate your relationships, or improve self-esteem, Sometimes I Think I Suck will empower you to break free from self-defeating patterns so you can fully inhabit the rich, rewarding life that is waiting for you.

Get ready to stop criticizing and start thriving-because you definitely do not suck.
