The new self-development programme from the author of the smash best seller The Chimp Paradox.

All of us face challenges, rough patches and struggles in life. And during these times we are often our own worst enemies, experiencing unwelcome emotions, thoughts and behaviours. The one thing that has stood out to Professor Peters in his years of supporting people as a Consultant Psychiatrist is that no matter what you may be facing in life, if you have the right mental toolkit in place then you will be able to cope - and even thrive.

Now, the best-selling author of The Chimp Paradox, has created a structured, practical self-development programme to help you attain psychological health and wellbeing. Professor Peters explains complex neuroscience in straightforward terms with his Chimp Mind Model. The eight stages of the book will help you to focus, empower yourself and lead you along a path to robustness and resilience.

“I sincerely hope that you will find the book helpful, and that the jungle of life will become much more manageable, as you find your own inner strength." (Professor Peters)

The Chimp Paradox revolutionised my life. It gave me vocabulary to describe what was going on inside my head. A Path through the Jungle builds on this and is equally as life changing. Some sections really resonated with me. I love the way it starts with a recap of the Chimp model, then goes on with practical lessons. The idea of ‘ghost’ emotions explained a concept which I’ve never been able to articulate. I love the audiobook; hearing SP’s voice is so calming.

As good as the Chimp Paradox

. The author:
Professor Steve Peters is a Consultant Psychiatrist who specialises in the functioning of the human mind.

. Main idea:
All of us face challenges, rough patches and struggles in life.

During these times we are often our own worst enemy, experiencing unwelcome emotions, thinking and behaviours. The one thing that has stood out to Professor Steve Peters in his years of supporting people as a Consultant Psychiatrist is that no matter what you may be facing in life, if you have the skills to be in a good place emotionally then you can cope, thrive and present the real you to the world. Now, bestselling author of The Chimp Paradox, has created a structured, practical self-development programme to help you attain psychological health and wellbeing.

The 8 stages of the book will help you to focus on yourself, empower you and leads you along a path to robustness and resilience. If we could have perfect management of our mind, and be robust and resilient, life would be so much easier; so why can't we? This book will:
* Explain why and how to manage the struggle within the mind
* Help to put you into a good place within yourself
* Take you along a path leading to robustness and resilience
* Offer you a practical structured programme
* Demonstrate how to acquire the skill of mind management.

Areas covered include:
* Improved relationships
* Emotional management
* Self-confidence
* Peace of mind
* Happiness
* Managing stress.

Professor Peters explains complex neuroscience in straightforward terms with his Chimp Management Mind Model. This is one of the most important books I have ever read. I will be using the lessons from it for years to come.

. Quote:
“how can you determine who you really are? To work out who you really are as a person is easy to do. If you wrote a list of all the things you would like to be, you may write things like calm, compassionate, reasonable, positive, confident and happy, then this is who you really are. Any deviation from this is a hijacking by the Chimp.”

I read the chimp paradox maybe 5 years ago and have shared the knowledge with my children by reading the book with them and purchasing the My hidden chimp. This book builds on the concept of the chimp paradox with complex neuroscience into a clear and simple model. The book provides practical ways to use the model to get the best out of ourselves and deal with life. Since reading the chimp paradox I have accepted and lived understanding the human, the computer and the chimp this book helps build on your stone of life and program the computer. Absolutely fantastic

Brilliant addition to Chimp Paradox
