Synopsis:Addiction to criticism is a social disease we catch from others, and it is the underlying cause of all addictions and emotional problems. Yet it sweeps our world unnoticed, creating an epidemic of immense proportions and leaving chaos in its wake. The roots of this critical addiction are perpetuated through our inner critic, who finds fault with others and ourselves. Breaking Free from the Inner Critic clearly explains causes and symptoms of critical addiction. Using the "Four Steps to Freedom" contained in this book, you will find relief from your inner critic's tyranny. This mental detox prepares you to create a life you enjoy. After all, you can't brew good coffee in a dirty pot! That's the real secret. Kalie Marino's masterpiece paves the route to dissolve individual and global self-defeating ways with stories, physics, and age-old wisdom set to the tune of inner and external peace. Be prepared for your inner critic to be transformed into an inner coach with a new set of songs, all in the key of gratitude. Perhaps you are familiar with your inner critic, but the two of you have never been properly introduced. Kalie aptly makes that introduction and then skillfully speaks to both of you throughout the book, inviting you to make peace with the mental roommate that pays no rent and was never really invited to stay in the first place. She invites you both to grab a seat and have a listen. It will change your world and the world around you. - Pamela Maliniak Autobiography: KALIE MARINO is a holistic and spiritual counselor, social worker, interfaith minister, respected leader in the field of personal growth and popular public speaker.
