Big Fat Lies Women Tell Themselves: Ditch Your Inner Critic and Wake Up Your Inner Superstar
by
Amy Ahlers
Most of us have a nonstop chorus of criticism in our heads — voices not unlike those of the mean girls lurking in locker rooms of junior high schools everywhere. Amy Ahlers’s witty, wise, and cut-to-the-chase book will give you everything you need to take on those bullying Inner Mean Girls and Inner Critics — and win. You’ll learn how to rewire the self-sabotaging lies you...more

“I’m not enough.” “I should have known better.” “When I ____ I’ll be happy.”
It’s funny, if we heard our best friend say any of these things we’d immediately tell her that they were completely unfounded. We would remind her that she was loved and didn’t need to prove anything to anyone. Yet, when we say these things to ourselves we somehow manage to convince ourselves that they ring true. Of course, the reality is that these lies are no more true for us than they are for our best friend.

I've attempted to read other self-help books before and I will admit that by the time I reach the third or fifth page I am bored and still unmotivated. The opposite is true for this book! What I liked about "Big Fat Lies" is that each lie has its own chapter at about 2-3 pages each, which makes it easy to read from beginning to end. There is also an online reader's kit to help readers with the exercises and affirmations.

A fast paced read that opens up what you may believe to be true, but in fact really isn't. By changing your mind, you can change your world. Ahlers reminds women how amazing they are and that more is possible than they choose to see.
This was a quick read and a good reminder about how powerful our inner mean girls can be. Would definitely recommend for 20-something phenoms who need a confidence boost!
Here's a sample line from the intro: "Doesn't it feel downright yummy to lean into your Inner Wisdom?"
Nope.
Nope.
Wow...very good read- Lots of truths.
I found some of this book helpful but the cheerleader-like way it's written made it hard for me to take seriously.
didn't finish. Lost interest. Too many other books to read.
