As I started working on the chapter on the problem-solving process as the first step toward No NST, I read the end of the previous chapter, which I’ve copied below. It’s a …
Sticking with the theme of self-talk; negative, positive, realistic, and negative-other talk I’m posting some links to posts on blogs that men have written about negative self-talk.

Ethan Kross is the University of Michigan research and assistant professor of psychology. You can find more on detachment by looking under Try Some Techniques.

>A recent experience in a group discussion reminded me of a “the more things change, the more things stay the same.” The topic was the status of education in the U.S. A frequent contributor and articulate woman prefaced half of her comments with disclaimers.
