Gives good, concrete suggestions for how to deal with that nagging voice in your head that tells you you suck. Has the usual trip-ups of the self help genre (weird, special vocabulary words, waaaay too many examples, etc.), but outside of that it's by far the best book on the subject I've read. Full disclosure: I took this at a pace somewhere between a read and a skim, as I do almost all nonfiction. I suggest you do the same for maximum enjoyment and minimal annoyance.

Digging it. Getting through the Diamond Heart basics of true nature and reality. I never feel full though. Looking forward to the rest.

This is one fabulous book. It gets rid of the judge that is always telling us we're not doing what we should. Highly recommended.

Most valuable section for me was on anger. The "unfolding day" was a good aid for applying the learning.

Great book. I think everyone could benefit from reading it.

Yes, its self-help but it was really helpful.

It was hard for me, but if you can ignore the obnoxious hippie/new age language in this book it is worth it. If there is something similar written in a different style please let me know.

Little things. I prefer "inner critic" to "judge". This book declares itself to be a dense read in a way it is not. Your millage may vary on how quickly you need to digest what you read, but the reading itself is watered down for housewives style.

Good ideas about self-esteem and self-compassion and how to increase them in our lives.

This is a must-have book for me! Again, one of those that bears reading over and over as a refresher! It serves as "A Guide to Liberating Yourself from the Judge Within" - (superego stuff!)

This book is used in A. H. Almaas' Diamond Heart work, of which my psychotherapist is a certified instructor in Houston.

Amazing book! Yoga is about quieting the mind...so is this book.

How prevalent criticism is in our culture - and how toxic
