About this listen

From the author of the million-copy selling The Chimp Paradox

How can we help our children:

  • become more resilient?
  • get over mistakes?
  • develop a positive outlook?

And, what can we do to become better role models?

Prof Steve Peters uses his Chimp Mind Management Model to help parents, teachers and carers understand the neuroscience behind unconscious beliefs and habits that may be silently guiding children's emotions, thinking and behaviours.

The Silent Guides explores ten positive habits and many related themes taken from the children's educational book My Hidden Chimp.

Prof Steve Peters helps challenge unhelpful behaviours such as:

  • being overly self-critical
  • fear of failure
  • low self-esteem

This is an important and groundbreaking new audiobook from the best-selling author of The Chimp Paradox and the creator of the chimp management mind model.

As always Steve is clear and concise and just puts it all in layman's terms to help you just understand at times what is going on in yours and your child's head as they are growing up. Loved it! Thank you.

Excellent

I loved the chimp paradox and I liked this book. I think it’s important to read the chimp paradox first

My children are 26 and 23, so I'm more likely to use the techniques on my wife :)

So, clearly there is information for all!!

I will certainly recommend this book to my children when I become a grandfather, in fact a paper copy will make its way into their hands.

Great for parents...
