About Unmasking the Inner Critic
“An excellent read for people of the Christian faith who seek effective strategies for self-love in order to heal from past emotional, mental, and physical trauma.”
— The Seattle Book Review
I wrote this book to help you:
- do the work of inner excavation with spiritual practices that hold and embolden it,
- dig deeper for a more authentic way of living and being who you truly are,
- lay aside the masks that keep you from fully experiencing the world,
- engage the inner life as the beginning of sustainable activism, and
- live a healthier, more confident, and well-grounded life.
If this sounds like it might support you where you’re at on your journey, you can grab a copy here!
“Andrew compassionately reminds his readers we’re all in possession of inherent creativity, significance, and sacredness beyond what we may currently recognize or believe…We’re invited to release binding footholds and begin believing in the goodness that exists behind the critical masks we’ve long worn.”
—Sarah Southern, writer on spirituality
From the back cover:
I’m not good enough. I’m not in control. I don’t know who I am.
These constrictions are brutal. But who among us hasn’t felt one of these constrictions at some point in their life?
Rooted in the teachings of mystics, saints, poets, and prophets, Unmasking the Inner Critic offers guidance and support for how to move beyond some of our most challenging fears and negative inner narratives.
With an intuitive blend of reflection questions, contemplative practices, action prompts, and his own personal story, Andrew Lang shares the wisdom from secular poets and therapists—as well as from Christianity, Buddhism, and Sufism—that has grounded his workshops for almost a decade.
The perfect book for progressive Christians, secular seekers, and those who are deconstructing Christianity, Unmasking the Inner Critic helps us expand our spirituality beyond the institution of religion for our personal transformation and communal healing.
Move beyond the inner narratives that hold you back and rediscover the world as deeply interconnected, filled with inherent dignity, and inviting us to embody something new.
