Chatter

There were a few good ideas in here, but in my opinion nothing particularly groundbreaking unless you truly haven't paid attention to any self-help beforehand. It ultimately felt like it boiled down to three or four major ideas that got repeated fairly frequently.

One particular passage casually mentioned that a contact of his rediscovered her interest in genealogy which led her to find she's a descendent of George Washington. It was mentioned as an aside about how someone was doing so much better with their mental health, etc, but... George Washington didn't have kids. I had to go back to listen to that passage again, and it really stuck with me as a worrisome example that the author may not have been fact-checking very basic concepts.

Once that got into my head I couldn't fully trust the author's anecdotes again, which I suppose is emblematic of how little the book ultimately taught me about dealing with the voice in my head.
