Synopsis

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 resiliance, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.

Right words at the right time When I read self help type books, I'll highlight if I come across something that rings true. I'll use a second stronger color if it provides insight or a new path I hadn't seen/thought of before, or that I had forgotten. I think I may have marked more of this book than n......more

Goodreads review by Andreea on January 13, 2022

The mountain was this book. 2.5 stars because some parts really spoke to me. But the whole thing read like there were 25 pages worth of ideas stretched out to fill 200ish pages. So much repetition, which is what made this otherwise seemingly short read (many spaces, tiny pages) be so hard to get thro......more

Goodreads review by Amy on July 05, 2020

I cannot tell you how much this book has allowed me to see not only how much I self sabotage, but also to feel calm & completely inspired to move forward toward greater things. This is the perfect book for 2020, as we question our lives & all that we stand for. I’m ready to leave my legacy. Thank yo......more
