“What a well written book. It contains groundbreaking revelations about how our brain works and the fact that self-bullying is an addictive behaviour, especially for those of us who constantly strive to overachieve. It demonstrates the vicious cycle that we are caught in when it comes to our own toxic behaviour patterns and how to overcome those.”
Domonique Vargas, Sales Professional
"I thoroughly enjoyed this book! My heart says the masses will love this, though I think realistically people who are ready for the truth will be most attracted to the content. 10/10, would recommend reading it. I think this book represents the truth in a way that isn't cut-throat; I can see this being the spark that many people need for their deep dives into truth."

“Kalyani does not merely offer additional self-help tools; she presents a profound, evidence-based framework that refines our understanding of motivation, success, and self-worth. Her methods are both simple and profoundly effective, producing transformative and lasting results. Whether you are grappling with burnout, self-doubt, or overwhelming expectations, this book will help you pinpoint the root causes of your challenges and equip you with the tools to overcome them. Overall, this book captivated my interest and left a lasting impression. It stands out as my favourite read of the year.”
Maria G Vercimak, Mental Health Therapist (LPC)
“In my opinion, books like Beyond the Inner Critic are a rare and vital resource for mental health professionals working with young clients dealing with issues such as bullying. I am grateful for the book’s practical approach, which doesn’t just focus on alleviating emotional pain but actively engages clients in cultivating self-compassion and resilience. This dual focus on healing and empowerment is what makes the book so effective for a demographic as vulnerable as middle school students.
I witnessed a transformation in my client’s attitude. She no longer feels like a victim of her circumstances but has become someone who not only survives but thrives. Her newfound excitement about developing resilience and advocating for herself is a testament to the book’s lasting impact.”
Anneli Silvennoinen, High School Teacher and Librarian
“Kalyani is passionate about her subject matter and very informed due to her deep self knowledge and thorough research. She is committed to helping and teaching others what she has learned so that her readers can benefit in the way she did. She offers new perspectives to achieve these goals in a practical and sensible manner. She opens up about her personal experiences in a frank and open manner to a phenomenal level and by doing this we know that she is genuine as we recognize ourselves in some of it.
So if you are grappling with difficult concepts such as low self esteem, guilt, people pleasing, avoiding conflicts, self love ,apologizing, forgiveness, conflict avoidance, burnout and a general feeling of being disconnected then this is the book for you. Get involved in the process guided by a master thereby opening up a whole new way of thinking and looking at life.”

“Helpful techniques that are actually doable and make sense. If I was a young person being bullied and read this book, I would feel inspired and hopeful. If I was a parent of a child being bullied, I would feel like there were things I could do to help – and have a better understanding of how my child was feeling.”
Raphaela Filopoulos, Grade 9, South Africa
“I highly recommend this book for all teenagers and not only those who are being bullied because of the valuable lessons and tools shared by the author. More importantly, I feel teachers need to read this book as they can apply the techniques recommended to help children who are being bullied because traditional ways of handling bullying are no longer effective and are outdated. What teachers don’t realise is the impact they have on their students, they can make or break them. This book is an ideal source of valuable guidance for both teachers and students.”
Arun Sadasivam, Paediatrician, UK
“With over two decades of experience as a paediatrician, I couldn’t write a book on this subject with the passion shown by Kalyani from start to finish. Kalyani’s elaborate solutions to each aspect of bullying comes as a breath of fresh air to readers. Her suggestions will go a long way in helping many children understand themselves better. Kalyani is an impressive example of grit, commitment and perseverance for teens. This book, without a shadow of doubt, will help many children introspect, realize their full potential and improve their self-esteem – a giant step to tackling bullying.”
Faith Rodriguez, Energy Healer and Psychic Medium, USA
"I loved this book! Bullying can happen in many different places, not just in schools and with people of all ages. A lot of people don't get help and some are hurt or embarrassed to ask for help. In this book, Kalyani Pardeshi shares different steps to help heal from the hurt that can come from being bullied."
