If you could sum up The Chimp Paradox in three words, what would they be?

Absolutely brilliant based on science and the author's wealth of professional experience.

What other book might you compare The Chimp Paradox to, and why?

Flourishing by Maureen Gaffney and The Winner Effect by Ian Robertson because they are also potentally life changing and happiness creating books.

What does Steve Peters bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

His accent and his passion and deep understanding of the subject matter were great. As there were exercises and diagrams I wanted to review, and because it was so good I decided to get the book from the library. I will definitely buy the hard copy book for myself now.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes but there was so much in it it needed a number of listenings.

Any additional comments?

Highly recommended. Best self understaning book I have encountered. Have recommended it to friends, colleagues and neighbours!

Great experience!

This has given me such an insight to how I work, I have understood myself so much and can actually hear my chimp now, which always makes me chuckle.

I’m dealing with some very difficult anxiety times due to illness in the family, a breakup and selling my home. I’ve pretty much the full works with stress and I needed something to help me think as I was starting to freeze. The book has been so hands on with specific advice for situations like mine. It’s like I’ve my personal therapist with me at all times with the perfect advice I need when I need it. Amazing book! It’s not a self help book as such but a be realistic and sort it out by dividing out the brain and my chimp reactions. Ideal for professional people and people serious about fixing their stress and anxiety difficulties.

Omg how did I manage without this book?
