About this ebook

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 book 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 concept, delivered admirably. This book had helped me use simple techniques to control my mental illness symptoms (my monkey). Work hard at it and this book can show you invaluable techniques, and help you understand yourself much better than you do right now.

Doctor Steve Peters is well acclaimed and one of the greatest psychologist I have ever come across. His work is second to none, I can't compare any self help book to Dr Peters work, he is miles ahead of them. None come as good as the chimp paradox. The chimp paradox shows you how the mind functions, with the chimp paradox I don't think there will be any more you will ask for. Take my words for it.
