EFR 609: Dr. Ethan Kross on Harnessing the Voice in Your Head, Mental Time Travel, and Navigating Mental Chatter

You talk to yourself every single day. When you're processing information and experiences, making decisions, and preparing for the unknown ahead, you always talk yourself through it in your mind, right? The interesting part of this phenomenon that we all experience is that the conversations we have with ourselves impact our health, performance, decisions, and relationships. In fact, they might just be the most important conversations we can have in our lifetime… and this week's special guest studies just that. Ethan Kross is a scientist, award-winning professor, best-selling author of Chatter , and one of the world's leading experts on controlling the conscious mind. In this discussion, Ethan and Chase talk about how to harness, understand, and apply the voice in your head to your real life. Ethan speaks on the power of mental chatter and rumination, practical ways to navigate your thoughts and solve problems, and the research he's done on internal conversation, introspection, and language.
