Publisher's summary

Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.

For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.

Excellent book

This is an excellent book I would recommend to anyone. You know you are reading a good book when you feel like they are directly talking to you and you find yourself smiling, clapping, and nodding your head while reading it. I would highly recommend reaching Chapter 7 to anyone who is trying to find their PURPOSE in life.

Everyone should read/listen to this.

My coach gave this book to me and I put it off for so long bc how GOOD I know the rest of the team said it was and that it would “read my mail” per se. This is something that I’d love to pass along to everyone, simply because while it may not ALL apply to someone, but a book that everyone will get something out of. It’s a different positive enlightening perspective for anyone that wants to grow and improve as an individual for themselves and their relationships.

Everyone Should Read This!

It might be bold to say so, but I think everyone in the world should read this book. The way in which Wiest’s ideas were articulated and framed created a listening/reading experience that felt as if my best friend was calling me out in the most loving way possible. The ideas in this book were effective, enlightening and life altering if applied. I am a huge fan of this book and I will likely return to it!

Hits home

Wonderful book. Truly hits home for where I’m at mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Put words to feeling so they’ve had and good suggested techniques.

Presented with many examples for repetition

Great listen
I retain through repetition and this is what kept me involved. Nice voice spoken with conviction.
