Creative people beset by self-doubt are fortunate to have feisty author-narrator Danielle Krysa help transform their unwelcome inner critic into an inner cheerleader. Kyrsa tackles the obstacles that many artists encounter in their work as the confidence and enthusiasm of childhood disappear. She's quick to point out that the destructiveness of the inner critic is not the same as constructive criticism, which can greatly aid the creative process. Simple exercises are introduced to help listeners become their own cheerleaders, and Krysa adds depth through interviews with professional artists who also admit to self-doubt. Everyone can hear themselves in these anecdotes. Krysa's infectious humor and clever word choices add to the listening pleasure as she points out that when one doesn't try to overcome internal criticism, the critic wins.
