Everyone's a Critic

Do you beat yourself up after making a mistake? Do you treat yourself worse than you would a good friend? If these questions strike a chord, it's likely that you contend with unhealthy self-criticism. In Everyone's a Critic, psychotherapist Julia Bueno shares seven case studies, inspired by her practice. They explore some of the reasons why we turn against ourselves, encourage readers to be more curious about their self-critic, and inspire a practice of greater self-compassion instead.'If you've ever felt that little voice - or a very loud one - at the back of your mind telling you you're no good, Julia Bueno's book is the ideal way to answer back' Harry Mount, editor of the Oldie'Insightful and honest' Entertainment Focus'This sensitive, insightful and occasionally self-critical book made me think that its author must be very good at her job' TLS
