About this listen

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.

An amazing book which seemed to speak to my innermost thoughts...it is very eye opening, knowledgeable and helpful and delves into the heart of self sanotage and self mastery. A book well worth listening to if you have any sense you are self sabotaging or are just looking to improve your life - lots of helpful and practical ideas and comments (sometimes 'duh!' moments when you realise you should already be doing them) on things you can do to bring peace and boundaries into your life. The readers voice is calm and well spoken and is lovely to listen to - brings the words to life.

Deep dive!
