Better Days

Tame Your Inner Critic

Book • 2023

In 'Better Days: Tame Your Inner Critic', Neal Allen offers a method to confront and silence the negative self-talk that often stems from the superego.

Through engaging exercises, readers can overcome harmful self-criticism and live more intentionally.

The book builds on Freud's concept of the superego, showing how it can become a personal parasite if not managed.
