Bitesize: The problem with positive self-talk, self-esteem and affirmations - with Dr. Russ Harris

We are not our thoughts, we are aware of our thoughts. The more we can acknowledge this fact, the less emphasis we put on the need for 'high self-esteem' and 'positive self-talk'. To help me bust some myths is the best-selling author of the Confidence Gap and the Happiness Trap. And just a warning - if you stand in front of the mirror and do positive self-affirmations, this episode might get you to stop. Russ is one of the world's leading experts on Acceptance and Commitment therapy, which can have a profound impact on your wellbeing and -crucially - your relationship with your mind, your thoughts and your feelings.**My book Champion Thinking: How To Find Success Without Losing Yourself draws on some of my favourite interviews over the last six years.
