The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery by Brianna Wiest (Paperback)
The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery by Brianna Wiest (Paperback)
Nonfiction - Self-Help - Personal Growth
Published: 6/1/2020
This book is about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it - for good. 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.
