Summary Author Biography

Most of us have a nonstop chorus of criticism in our heads � voices not unlike those of the mean girls lurking in locker rooms of junior high schools everywhere. Amy Ahlers�s witty, wise, and cut-to-the-chase book will give you everything you need to take on those bullying Inner Mean Girls and Inner Critics � and win. You�ll learn how to rewire the self-sabotaging lies you tell yourself into affirming truths that will increase self-respect, self-love, and self-compassion, transforming your inner and outer lives.

... MOREEvery woman is familiar with that inner voice inside, the voice of her inner mean girl. She spews cruel words at you and makes you feel like you're in 7th grade again -- and NOT in the popular group. Your Inner Mean Girl's favorite thing to do is to make you feel small, inadequate, and unworthy. She's always finding evidence to prove her theory: You are not enough. Well, Amy Ahlers has news for women: Your inner mean girl is a LIAR! Big Fat Lies Women Tell Themselvesis a life coaching and self-help book--think Desperate Housewives meets Oprah. By confronting the debilitating lies of our Inner Critic, or Inner Mean Girl (e.g. "The world is against me" or "Taking care of myself is selfish"), readers can disempower that voice, and replace these lies with inspiring, motivating truths. The book explores the lies, including the "motherlode lies" that cause us to delay our own desires, reinforce bad body images, expect to fail, and always assume we're not "good enough" to succeed, or we "don't deserve" money and the good life. Worksheets take readers step by step through the process of transforming each lie into a truth that will help them change habits and behavior and stand up to their inner bully for good. Life coach Amy Ahlers has designed specific worksheets for each "lie," and they have been tested with her clients and friends. These techniques work, and they will help women move from inner criticism to inner cheer-leading. Ahlers also guides readers to discover and take the practical steps that will build new habits and new behavior in support of that inner cheer leader. Written in response to women's grumbling hunger for authentic happiness, reduced stress, and genuine optimism, Big Fat Liesis a brand new contribution to available self-help and coaching books. The distinct format of each chapter -- Lie, Truth, Affirmation, Inspiring Quote, and Challenge Worksheet -- is highly memorable and eminently useful. It's a joyous, straight-talking book with the best possible prize: a better life. Big Fat Liesmeets women's desire for an accessible and fun format to personal transformation. After all, we're a culture of fast food, fast talk, fast planes, trains, and automobiles--how about fast self-help? FAST, catchy and memorable self-help!

A rally cry for women to stop being so hard on themselves and break free of the Inner Mean Girl's lies, replacing them with inner wisdom and support

"Most women have a nonstop chorus of criticism in their heads - voices not unlike those of the mean girls lurking in the hallways and locker rooms of junior high schools everywhere. The grownup version of those teenage taunts - "But taking care of myself is selfish" and "The world is against me" - zap motivation, sabotage happiness, and keep women in a stressed, "never enough" mindset. Here, like a best-buddy, street-wise big sister, coach Amy Ahlers helps women talk back. Her witty, wise, and cut-to-the-chase format arms women with the "Take that!" insights they wish they had handy when someone puts them down - even if that someone is the person in the mirror. Ahlers doesn't offer long-winded self-therapy or simplistic happy talk; she serves up straight talk that helps women know, feel, and tell themselves the truths that transform their deepest inner thoughts - and their lives"--"Most women have a nonstop chorus of criticism in their heads -- voices not unlike those of the mean girls lurking in the hallways and locker rooms of junior high schools everywhere.
