The Mountain Is You

Transforming Self-Sabotage into Self-Mastery

De: Brianna Wiest

Narrado por: Stacey Glemboski

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.

Uncovering Our Mountains

Brianna Wiest does a phenomenal job with helping her readers see the deeper rooted things in our lives that we need to focus on to achieve the healing we are all searching for in life. We often think we know the true problems in our lives that we need to fix so that we can have a better life but after reading this book I realized that most of us are just treating the symptoms and not the actual core problem. If you’ve been dealing with self sabotage in your life I highly recommend this book. It helped me uncover things I’ve been working years to uncover by simply getting me to realize the symptoms are the area we need to be focusing on.

A book of self reflection I’ve been looking for

This book has given me more perspective on my life than conversations I’ve had with an actual therapist. It made my mad cry and say ahha at the same time. If your looking for something to help you find the answers to questions you’ve been asking about yourself for a very long time, this is it. I hope it brings the next person what it brought me… clarity

Mindset reset

I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole life. This book has changed my mindset soo much. I didn’t realize how far is come till this book made me step back and look at the bigger picture. I honestly couldn’t recommend this book more. I could listen to it over and over again.

Great Book!

I’m glad I didn’t skip this one because of the bad reviews. I’ve read a lot of self help books but this one is my favorite. Narrators voice is calming and very good. I really enjoyed this and truly opened my eyes to the way I think.

Change Your Mindset

This book is packed with nuggets for total life transformation. It’s an easy read. Doing the work is the part that will get you the lifelong results you seek. If you change your mindset, you will change your life. I listened to the book but I’m going to get a hard copy as well because it is full of nuggets.

Life changing!!!

I’ve never taken so many notes in my life! This book has helped me tremendously. Even my family is noticing a positive difference in me. Beautifully narrated and super engaging. Wish I had started reading/listening to this a lot sooner!

Good enough

Plenty of great reminders of life’s truths, however no new concepts were presented. Very nice read but more like a friendly reminder of lessons learned in other success/happiness/well-being books.

Wow. LOVE this book!

Thank you for writing this book! The reader was also wonderful! I love the concepts and that they are repeated and explained in different ways. I found myself backing up quite a bit to re-listen to a lot of this book!
Thank you again!

Good

If you listen to many self development books, this book does go over a few of the same information I’ve read/heard before but I took those pointers as friendly reminders to continue staying on track. However, it did implement some new ideas and gave me new perspectives on ways to continue healing.

This book has changed my life ENTIRELY. It holds all the answers to what you’re going through. I highly suggest that you listen!

Words can’t express how much I cherish this book and what she has to say. It is so insightful and is the key to unlocking your greatest challenges and your own barriers. This book guides you in the direction you have always wanted to go. This changed my life and I cannot express my love and gratitude for all she has to teach us. I promise you will not be disappointed.
