Soul without Shame: A Guide to Liberating Yourself from the Judge Within

Whether we call it the inner critic, superego, or just plain nag, most of us have a judge within who's constantly on our case. A comprehensive guide to understanding how the inner critic works, this book offers practical, positive suggestions for breaking free of it. Using straightforward language and examples from everyday life, Byron Brown shows:



Where the inner judge came from
How it operates
Why it trips us up
Why we believe we need it
How to develop awareness of it
How to disengage from it
The soul qualities we can develop to weaken its influence




Each chapter begins with an episode of the Frank and Sue story, dramatically illustrating how the inner critic works; each chapter ends with a simple exercise designed to help the reader move along the path of self-discovery.
