Do you sabotage your own happiness and success? Are you struggling to make sense of yourself? Do your emotions sometimes dictate your life?

The Chimp Paradox is an incredibly powerful mind management model that can help you become a happy, confident, healthier and more successful person. Prof Steve Peters explains the struggle that takes place within your mind and then shows how to apply this understanding to every area of your life so you can:

• Recognise how your mind is working.
• Understand and manage your emotions and thoughts.
• Manage yourself and become the person you would like to be.

The Chimp Mind Management Model is based on scientific facts and principles, which have been simplified into a workable model for easy use. It will help you to develop yourself and give you the skills, for example, to remove anxiety, have confidence and choose your emotions. The audiobook will do this by giving you an understanding of the way in which your mind works and how you can manage it. It will also help you to identify what is holding you back or preventing you from having a happier and more successful life.

Each chapter explains different aspects of how you function and highlights key facts for you to understand. There are also exercises for you to work with. By undertaking these exercises you will see immediate improvements in your daily living and, over time, you will develop emotional skills and practical habits that will help you to become the person that you want to be, and live the life that you want to live.

GREAT BOOK

Well explained book, on how we behave the way we do.
A better understanding of how we formed the habits we have.

Would recommend this audible book

It's a must read!

Loved it and learned a lot about myself! Highly recommended. I'll sure think more before acting

Great stories and practical help

It’s not often you hear an academic present something in an understandable format that is also of practical use to normal people, love the book thank you very much Professor Steve Peters

WOW

Amazing audiobook to learn about yourself and about the world you’re living in. Highly recommend!

A collection of helpful thinking patterns

Change your thinking, identify u helpful and destructive thoughts and improve your life. Never beat yourself up, just deal with consequences and move on.

Very good book

I enjoyed it very much, it’s very helpful and full of knowledge and information. Must read for everyone.

Practical Help

Helped greatly with understanding myself in a language which is understandable with the masses. Helped me practically with work and working with my wife. I'm also meditating and helped me put some science behind what I was feeling.

Good listen for general perspective

Necessary, insightful concepts communicated in plain language.

The science nerd in me didn't like the concept of my "universe", when the author was clearly describing a solar system, but it's a small point to overlook when the book's lessons are valuable and applicable to a wide range of events and personalities.

Terrible hard to listen to

Very hard to keep attention with this book due to bored tone of voice. Might be interesting. Will try reading the book... Recommended if you want to go to sleep..

Very boring

The performance is so bad. I wasn't interested after 2 or so hours into the book. I like the main idea but it was clear after about 2 hours. Reading the book might be more enjoyable and beneficial but i cant say since i didn't and wont read it.
