Choose Your Story, Change Your Life: Silence Your Inner Critic and Rewrite Your Life from the Inside Out by Kindra Hall →

When we consider our lives and the vast number of experiences we have had, it is clear that those events are stories, and we supply the plot lines and even the conclusions for many of them. Over time we create our decisions, and with each tale repeated, we reinforce our findings. The message of “Choose Your Story” is summed up in a quote by Seth Godin: “ We are not who we are because of our atoms, our molecules, our DNA. We’re who we are because of the stories we tell ourselves- about our pain, the hopes, and the dreams we live with.”

The author lays out the components that make stories stick and shows how we construct the beliefs and use them to prop up our conclusions. This allows us to catch glimpses of our subconscious at work, creating false assumptions.

The book offers a solution to findingour authenticl self in what turns out to be an approach that most anyone could follow.
