Once upon a time we had a friend, a guy named Oscar. Like most \u2014 maybe all \u2014 of us, he had an inner critic. The problem was, he did not know that his inner critic could become an ally. Our friend struggled and stayed stuck \u2014 convinced that those ugly words the inner critic put into his head were, in fact, true. One day, somebody gave our friend a book. A very good book. An award-winning book. At first Oscar wasn\u2019t sure why he had this book. He didn\u2019t know that some of his harsh ideas could \u2014 and should \u2014 be changed. But we\u2019re going to let Oscar tell you his own special way.       Do you have a friend like Oscar? A smart, talented, funny friend whose brain is kicking their butt?
