5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic book, 2 Nov 2006

By	Paul Foreman "http://www.spiritualinspiration... (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a fantastic book. If an alien came from another planet and needed a handful of books to find out what it is like as a human being - this would be in his shopping basket! The trouble with that scenario is that the alien would then know more than you do and yet you are a human being!

In "Taming Your Gremlin" Rick Carson exposes and uncovers the most significant reason for human suffering and gives us countless strategies for being one step ahead at all times.

Your Gremlin is the narrator in your head. Simply by noticing your Gremlin you are shining a light on your repetitive and habitual erroneous thoughts. With relaxed detachment and by observing your thinking rather than constantly analysing you no longer need to be imprisoned by your mental chatter. Witnessing the movements of the mind as an independent observer, you realise that you do not have to believe your thoughts - you begin to see how repetitive your thinking can become and how absurd it can be.

Your Gremlin is cunning, it makes things up, fantasizes and draws you into inevitable internal fights - mental torture designed to confuse you into a spiral of depressive thought processes that sap the energy and life from you. When your Gremlin is trapping you it makes you adopt a whinging, poor me attitude, thriving on negativity and leading you into inner turmoil away from the natural you. This can be done so subtly that you start to convince yourself that the `natural you' is what your Gremlin tells you rather than who you really are! In other words your Gremlin is so persuasive that you don't always know when you are being fooled.

Simply noticing your Gremlin (or internal chatter) is a huge step toward taming it. Fighting your Gremlin is pointless - it is far too shrewd - you need to diminish your Gremlin by shining the light on it, by being aware, by taming it.

If you stop to consider what it would be like if all your thoughts came out of your mouth as they enter your mind you can see how those around you might label you insane! And yet, even though we know others would find our constant internal chatterbox absurd we still listen to it and worse still we believe it!

"Taming Your Gremlin" offers you an inner peace and calm that most humans don't know exists. I highly recommend this book to you - it will revolutionise your thinking and transform your life.

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful resource, 27 Jul 2007

By	Wayne Redhart "Also on Twitter!" (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Carson has written an excellent self-help guide, with a wealth of useful suggestions for taming the negative effects of your 'gremlin' (your internal sense of self-doubt). The book is explained in a suitably direct manner with a simple, user-friendly tone. There are a number of different exercises that will be sure to keep the gremlin on a leash (subject to regular practise) and stop him from pissing on your bonfire. The chief criticism would be that he goes a little over the top with the whole gremlin metaphor at times. Still, some of the tips are extremely useful, such as 'never expose your gremlin to bright light', 'never get your gremlin wet' and (apparently by far the most important) 'NEVER feed it after midnight'. Wise words indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best "help" I've found for curing my Gremlin blues.., 20 Mar 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Taming Your Gremlin: A Guide to Enjoying Yourself (Perennial library) (Paperback)

Now I don't have to worry about that little voicethat often tells me "I can't" and "not good enough" This book tells you just how to overcome that little voice of defeat that lurks inside of all of us.
