Make Peace with Your Mind

How Mindfulness and Compassion Can Free You from Your Inner Critic

By: Mark Coleman

Narrated by: Mark Coleman

The inner critic is the voice inside our heads reminding us that we are never "good enough". It's behind the insidious thoughts that can make us second-guess our every action and doubt our own value. The inner critic might feel overpowering, but it can be managed effectively. Meditation teacher and therapist Mark Coleman helps listeners understand and free themselves from the inner critic using the tools of mindfulness and compassion. Each chapter offers constructive insights into what creates, drives, and disarms the critic; real people's journeys to inspire and guide listeners; and simple practices anyone can use to live a free, happy, and flourishing life.

Excellent book

If you need to choose one book to start your journey to mindfulness, this is the book. Listening to Mark Coleman in his own voice has a quality second to none.

Practical exercises

Straightforward and valuable information about the internal critic, why we have it, and how to leave peacefully with it. Practical mindfulness exercises that are easy to incorporate into daily living. I have listened again and again and found relief. I’m building a better relationship with myself and others based on mindfulness practices introduced to me through this book.

Life changing!

listened to audio 3 times. Will again soon. It's the beginning of a long, rewarding journey.

Radical Compassion

This book was transformative to the way I view myself and others. Mark Coleman uses each page to get you closer to separating who you are from your critic. I am inspired by the radical compassion Coleman encourages everyone to feel toward themselves and others.

An eye opening journey into your own mind.

Mark Coleman’s book opened up my mind to how my own brain works, then helped me shape how I could change that functioning (or non-functioning). While conceptually restorative, meditation hadn’t helped me deeply until I read Mark’s description of an “inner critic”, With this structure, I was able to recognize, categorize, and ultimately de-prioritize the inner critic in my own life.
