Unkind Mind by Betsy Holmberg caught my attention right away and I really felt the need to read it. As many of us are, I'm my own worst critic. Things other people say about me is nothing compared to what my mind tells itself. I really enjoyed the way the book laid everything out in an easy way to understand and make the feeling relatable. I will try to use some of the tactics discussed in the book to help navigate away from negative self talk and as I practice it more, hopefully it will get easier. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley

In this book, the author describes the default mode network (DMN) and how it affects a woman’s life. Strategies to recognize negative self-talk are provided, including ways to counteract with positive messages.

Thank you Net Galley, Betsy Holmbery, and New Harbinger Publications for an E-arc of Unkind Mind.

I loved this book and it really helped me reflect upon so many past life experiences and how my DMN was taking over. I loved the discussion and tie in with the Zones of Regulation. If high school me could have read this, I feel like my self love would have been so much stronger in my early and late 20s. I can no move forward and take control of my DMN as I move forward in life abs begin instilling many of these practices and though process with my 4 year old daughter to help her social emotional development flourish and thrive!
