About this ebook

The groundbreaking and empowering international bestseller to understand and challenge the destructive behaviours of your multifaceted mind, from the world-renowned therapist.

'Innovative and transformational' - Gabor Maté, bestselling author of When The Body Says No

'Changed my life' – Dr Rangan Chatterjee, bestselling author of Feel Better in 5 and The Stress Solution

Do you feel stuck in painful patterns, whether it’s a harsh inner critic, self-sabotaging habits, overwhelming emotions or trauma that still shapes your life?

What if there was a way to approach those aspects of you, to free you from the constant inner struggle and find true healing?

In his empowering bestseller, No Bad Parts, Dr Richard Schwartz offers a powerful and compassionate path to emotional healing and inner peace through his groundbreaking Internal Family Systems (IFS) model.

Schwartz reveals that we are each born with an 'internal family' of distinct parts within us. Some of our parts can become trapped in destructive patterns, but that learning to relate to each of them with curiosity, respect, and empathy can vastly expand our capacity to heal.

Through clear explanations, practical guidance and moving real-life examples, the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model will help you:

  • Honour and communicate with these ‘parts’
  • Turn the ego, the inner critic and the saboteur into powerful allies
  • Allow you to return to a more whole and harmonious 'Self'


Whether you want to release the past, get to know your inner critic or finally stop the cycle of self-sabotage, this empowering and compassionate guide offers a clear pathway toward greater emotional wellbeing, supporting lasting change and improved mental health.
