Mindfulness meditation teacher and author Mark Coleman tackles the inner critic – the relentless negative inner voice that many people live with – and illuminates a path toward accepting oneself.

Why are we so harsh with ourselves?

Author Mark Coleman has taught meditation for over 20 years, trains other meditation teachers, and facilitates mindfulness workshops for professionals.

Coleman also teaches mindfulness as a wilderness guide, helping participants connect with themselves and nature through outdoor retreats.

Coleman first discovered mindfulness meditation in 1984 and quickly learned how the practice could help him combat his inner critic and cultivate self-compassion.

In his book, Make Peace with Your Mind, Coleman shares insights from 40 years of meditating and working with clients struggling with negative self-talk.
