Ethan Kross is the author of the national bestseller Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It. The most important conversation we have each day isn’t with our boss, spouse, or friends: it’s the one we have with ourselves. When facing a challenging task, our inner voice can motivate us and help us keep our focus.
This talk is a lively exploration of how we can use the tools that are all around us to make our inner voice work in our favor, and it answers some valuable questions along the way. For instance, how can we approach our decision-making differently, learning to control our emotions and reason wisely instead of acting on impulse? An expert storyteller, Kross brings his research to life in a way that is fascinating, accessible, and immediately applicable to our daily lives.
