How to Tame the Voice Inside Our Head

Talking to yourself is normal. Most of the time we’re not doing it out loud, but if we did say everything that inner voice is going on about in our heads, we’d be speaking four-thousand words a minute. It’s happening very fast in there. And wouldn’t you just like to silence it once in a while? But University of Michigan psychologist Ethan Kross says we need that inner voice. It’s just that sometimes we let it ruin our life. And we don’t have to. Kross’ new book is “Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It.” (Segment produced by Cecilia Foster)
