He offers ten "inner voice lessons" from "The Power of Story":

1. Quiet Your Inner Discord. Shut down the noise by immersing yourself in activity that engages you completely.
2. Summon the Voice of Your Conscience. Ask yourself questions like, "Is this really something I should be spending my time or money or other resources on?"
3. Summon Your Voice of Reason and Wisdom. The next time the inner chatter rises, write down the facts—just the facts—of what is happening. Then write a brief story around those facts, using your best wisdom and perspective.
4. Summon Your Voice of Support and Encouragement. Whatever message you would send to those you care most about, whatever tone of voice you would use, send it to yourself.
5. Summon Your Voice of Toughness. Without access to the voice of toughness, many of us are too easily victimized by the world. Listening to this voice will help you to "hang tough" when you need to.
6. Summon Your "I Don’t Buy It" Voice. Maintain a healthy inner skeptic, or you risk becoming tragically gullible. 
7. Suspend Your "I Don’t Buy It" Voice. Some of us tend to be overly suspicious. That’s good—up to a point. Tough as it may be, at some point we have to suspend suspicion and make the leap of faith.
8. Summon Your Voice of Compassion. Every time you stimulate feelings of compassion within yourself, you increase that capacity.
9. Summon Your Voice of Sincerity. This voice gains volume when you listen to and acknowledge your deepest private voice, and then find an appropriate and honorable way of using that voice when speaking publicly to others.
10. Summon Your Voice of Intuition. Intuition doesn’t follow the standard pathways of conscious logic and reason. Training this voice, listening to and respecting this voice, can pay enormous dividends in just about every avenue of life.

"The ability to see clearly in the storm is neither inherited nor something that necessarily develops with age," says Dr. Loehr. "It comes from repetition and practice, much like strength develops from workouts at the gym." He invites readers to download a free storyboard process from "The Power of Story." His organization also offers a free self assessment.
