Publisher's summary

Are you your own biggest critic? Do you tend to be hard on yourself, impatient with your setbacks, and quick to judge yourself? Perhaps, you appear self-assured on the outside, but inside you often feel inferior, doubtful, and question yourself.

After writing the runaway best seller Not Nice, Dr. Aziz returns to tackle the biggest killer of confidence: your own inner critic. That voice in your head tells you that you can’t achieve what you want or be loved for who you are, because you’re not enough. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize just how much that negative voice is running their lives, creating stress, anxiety, perfectionism, relentless business, and overwhelm.

Through his work with thousands of people in live events, group programs, and online, Dr. Aziz systematically uncovered the most effective approach to rapidly end self-criticism and doubt and replace it with permanent self-worth and confidence.

In this refreshingly honest and moving book, Dr. Aziz gives you specific guidance, powerful exercises, and clear strategies to regain control inside your own mind, so you can live with more freedom, self-expression, trust, and confidence in yourself, than ever before!

You’ll also discover how to:

  • Put an end to constant comparison, self-judgment, and internal criticism
  • Skyrocket your sense of value, self-worth, and inner confidence
  • Stop doubting yourself and start living with bold self-trust
  • Eliminate your fear of failure, mistakes, and the disapproval of others
  • Truly like yourself and enjoy living your life

This book delivers an excellent message

This book really helped me silence my inner critic. I feel so much better, and no less productive. Thank you Aziz! I've already recommended it to friends and family.

Amazing book, amazing narrator !

I love , love , LOVE this book and its notions are helping me so much in my daily life , so I highly recommend finishing it .
The “trick” ( if you want to call it that ) with this book is that it APPEARS to be your typical and bland content for the first chapter or two , but do not , and I repeat NOT be deceived .
If you can master the art of discipline for 2 chapters only , your mind will be literally begging you not to turn this off .
I hope Dr Aziz writes more books , and I truly would be pouncing on them as quick as a cat on a prey.
Amazing work !

This book was a game changer!

I finally realized how mean I was to myself without even questioning why. This book helped me uncover a newfound self love and compassion for myself. It's true, why don't I treat myself the same way I would treat my loved ones? In fact, I wouldn't even treat strangers anywhere near as harshly as I've been to myself and that needed to change.

The parenting support in the appendix was GOLD as well. Highly, highly recommend from a mom and teacher and semi-former self abusive person.

My Serious Life Changer. After a Lifetime In Chain

Life Changing Book.. Everything in life has its patterns. Find the root core pattern of the problem and break that pattern. Whether its good or bad that lurks back in our memories. Way better like his last one. I respect the rawness and being bold of Dr. Aziz. I Have Read Hundreds of Books I mean literally Seriously hudreds and implemented it. This one book alone answered it. The one last missing piece of the puzzle I have been looking for all my life. Because not a lot of books is bold enough the past few years that seriously in depth talks about this topic besides Brian Tracy years ago and now Dr. Aziz took this topic seriously which answers a lot of questions in your life. This book is underrated.. Truly Life Changer. This audiobook needs more exposure. I am barely halfway and I am already loving the book. It teaches you more in depth on how all of your bad/good habits and personality and all of the self doubt critics that you have right now and beliefs system, all started from the pattern of memories from our own chilhood which is including our own Mother/Father and our own toxic relatives itself. Truly came and started from your own parents and relatives. The only way is to remember all the root core of that pattern and those days of your memory. And whatever beliefs of pattern that came from your own parents and own family that you picked up subconsiously. You must break all that pattern. I know we all love our own families but its The Truth and You must be honest and raw and truly honest to yourself. We must cut off all there negativity and toxicity out of your life. Whatever bad habits and beliefs system about yourself that you picked up from your own parents and own family members and relatives. The only way is to break all that pattern of beliefs system and let go..

So Relatable

Dr Aziz has the best way to relate to the challenges in our lives. He has helped me reflect on myself and realize I’m not alone. There have been so many times over the years of his books and podcasts where he brings out some of his most personal insecurities. Digging down and hearing him talk his way through these
challenges help me realize that my challenges are more common than I thought! His voice and logical thoughts are my go-to when I start to feel anxious/panic come on late at night. I can’t say enough about the positive self reflection that Dr Aziz has brought to me as a human being.

A must read/listen for anyone that is human.

Aziz is a wonderful author, narrator, and knows how to break even the most complex concepts into easily digestible bites packed full of good "clean fuel" for thought.
