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.

A guide to your mind

This simple model of brain function can not only help you understand your reaction but also support you in a fundamental change from reactive was to reason. It makes sense to the basic of thinkers with little knowledge on cognitive function. A must read if you intent to be the master of you.

Hopeless

A monotonous, childish, patronising, banal and long winded explanation of the bleeding obvious with little practical advice on how to manage your inner chimp. Achieved the opposite of its purpose. My inner chimp is having a tantrum.

Prof of bad analogies

Everyone should read this book so they can go on a journey to a madman's head. You'll learn bad analogies, wrong advices, factual errors on how world works and many more.

If the author really has a science title it should be revoked.

For some actual good material read:

* Drive
* Thinking, Fast and Slow
