Why people recommend it

On the Huberman Lab, Huberman Lab host Andrew Huberman reminded listeners to check show notes for links to the book alongside Kross's other work. Similarly, Dr. John Delony recommended Chatter across multiple episodes of The Dr. John Delony Show to help callers dealing with ruminating thoughts, negative self-talk, and the physiological impacts of phrasing internal dialogue in the third person. Katy Milkman also brought up the book on EconTalk while discussing self-talk and confidence. Later, Mel Robbins welcomed Kross onto The Mel Robbins Podcast, where she expressed excitement about digging into his bestselling book and discussed both Chatter and his subsequent work, Shift, while exploring actionable strategies for overcoming negative thinking.
