    About this ebook

    If you're still miserable after years of self-help books, motel seminars, ritzy retreats, motivational post-it notes, yoga posturing and endless Be Happy Social Media Cliches', there's a really good chance you can blame someone else -- your Critical Inner Voice. This short read may help pinpoint the secret to your happiness after you've exhausted all other avenues and still aren't able to levitate like everyone else.

    It's not like you haven't tried. But until you tame that Critical Inner Voice, there's a really good chance you'll never master Self-love -- a pre-requisite foundation for being a happy human. Life Is Good. You just need to fire that cranky movie critic living between your ears. Here's a primer on how to do that and get you moving in the right direction. And seek out other books on this topic. Without your Inner Critic in friendly mode, all those self-help efforts are doomed to failure -- which is exactly what that distorted voice seeks.

    Your Critical Inner Voice will happily pretend along for awhile -- enlightened Egos are a dime-a-dozen -- but if left unexamined, it's false perspective can eventually bring even the toughest characters to their knees in despair. Suicide rates are spiking amongst the Baby Boomer generation for a reason. When that false voice becomes self-repudiation on steroids, no external philosophy or flavour-of-the-week seminar will do much good. Above all else, start your quest for happiness here.

    "The CIV is the gatekeeper as to what actions you will or will not take. Then presents you the evidence of what it creates to complete the loop. It feels and acts like you, but it's not you at all. In so-called normal people, it acts as a friendly GPS system keeping one on course with a re-assuring commentary. In others, the brain will dredge up allot of oddball distant imprints and crappolla (for lack of a better word) that dis-empowers and masquerades as truth. It feels real because you experience it physically as well. But it's not you at all."

    The truth will set your free as they say. And apparently, the truth for some, is that we are not who we really think ourselves to be. Re-shaping that nasty Critic in your brain is like Natures Reset Button for life. Consider it the Ctrl+Alt+Del for those who secretly live lives of quiet desperation. Begin Again anytime.

      Quotable Quips On That Critical Inner Voice

      Final Thoughts On Faulty Thinking

      Introduction

      After twenty-two years on a comfy psychiatric couch, Jack finally saw the light. His unhappiness, as he suspected, was someone else's fault: His Critical Inner Voice (CIV). Identical in tone, he claims, to that of beloved TV Reality star Gordon Ramsey. On a bad day. A really bad day. And you thought you had problems.

      Jack's inner critic was like Mikee from that old TV Commercial who hated everything. Everything Jack. From dusk to dawn, it was a non-stop voice that screamed allot in a British accent and knit-picked Jack's every move. Jack's Critical Inner Voice was beyond abusive. Verbal abuse on steroids.

      These were self-attacks with pinpoint precision coupled with military-grade stealth. Jack indeed hated Jack. Not one happy thought really. Night and day, Jack's Critical Inner Voice (CIV) pounded ugly false thoughts about Jack's existence. Not one aspect was good enough. In fact Jack was near suicide. Depressed beyond all reasonable capacity to even muddle on with daily activities. He wanted to die. And no one had a clue.

      Now to be fair, Jack had no plan in place to exit stage left. It was merely an option. Dark as night, but like millions of others, suicide ideation was a constant companion. He didn't want to live in his current state-of-mind, or the conditions he created, but he really didn't wish to die either. He just wished to be someone else. Anyone else. Could he die without dying? Could he really Begin Again?

      Now if that describes you, welcome to the club. If you are close to the edge, unhappy and overwhelmed for any reason, contemplating ending your human existence, please read on. And there's lots to read. Some of it may ring-a-bell. After all it was cobbled together from people just like you. People who hung tough through the darkest moments of
