The Chimp Paradox: The Mind Management Program to Help You Achieve Success, Confidence, and Happiness Paperback – Illustrated, May 30, 2013

This is a good book that will help you become a better person. Self-control is key and it is a manual to reach it.

Had the pleasure of being on a Dr Steve Peter's seminar. This man is a genius. The best psychology book out there. Easy to read and understand

A good book that simplifies emotional intelligence. Not really based on any solid science but it does provide a good metaphor in how to look at the world and ourselves.

This book compares three brains that are present in our minds. The Chimp, Human, and the Computer brain and how they interact with one another. How each brain interpendently works towards a specific problem and share insights on how they determine their actions. The Chimp is Quick to act and think it's too dangerous or it's not worth it to take action. The Human uses logic to develop a plan a think I can move forward, and the Computer puts the thoughts together and uses the human experiences and to move forward.

This was a real eye opener, so my written it covers complex psychological and behavioural issues with really useful tools to deal with them. Not just a self-help book, more a awy to understand how others behave and how you can help get the best from them (and yourself)

The paperback version of this book was offered to me a couple of years ago and now I decided to buy the Kindle version since I prefer to read my books using it.I was thinking to upgrade to the audio version since I read that the audio upgrades would have a discount to those who buy the Kindle version. To my amazement, the audio upgrade costs $31 which is almost 3x the book price. Is this the discount you talk about? Who in his right mind will pay $31 for the audio version after buy the Kindle version? How ridiculous is this?

The Chimp Paradox is actually a pretty easy concept to get your head around - and once you do, it may be as life-changing for you as it has been for me. It really helps me understand myself better, and gives you tools for controlling your own emotional outbursts, your own procrastination - helping you control many aspects of your own emotions and behavior that are hard for you yourself to understand. That said, I recommend watching some of the many Youtubes on the Chimp Paradox, and also getting the book. This is a model well-worth becoming a fan of. By far the best self-help methodology I've come across in my 60 years on earth, second only to to the concept of loving and trusting God.

I read a snapshot of this book on an app that summarizes books. Found it interesting enough I bought it. The material for managing yourself mentally is interesting enough. However also being mostly left handed / right brain dominate this book mixes information and analogies that make it in my opinion easy to remember and easily relatable.
