The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage into Self-Mastery Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

Brianna Wiest (Author), Stacey Glemboski (Narrator), Thought Catalog Books (Publisher)
4.6 out of 5 stars 22,209 ratings

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.

    I found this book a good read and looked forward to continue reading it. Insightful for behaviours that we have, shining a light upon them but have to agree that not much is said after that, what to do about these behaviours.
