In Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why it Matters, and How to Harness It, Kross synthesizes his and others’ research in the field concentrating on this inner voice from a scientific perspective, a book sorely needed to help us understand and take advantage of this all too human condition. The chatter of our internal voice can seem to be a distracting and destructive cacophony of internal thought. While much of our daily life is spent mind wandering and listening to our inner voice, we do not always think about the dynamic ways it is directly linked to our daily experiences. The founder and director of the Emotional and Self-Control Laboratory at the University of Michigan, Ethan Kross has been a leading voice in a field that is helping us understand the workings of the conscious mind and how understanding its mechanisms can enable us to live happier and more fulfilled lives.
