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

Im super excited to read this book as I am looking to get back into reading, I’ve heard so many good things about it! And the material of the cover for this is like a matte finish!

Arrived on time, condition as expected.But more importantly, this book can be incredibly helpful for anyone feeling stuck in life. Powerful messages are written in a way that is simple to understand. Every page has at least two such statements that will really make you do a double take/rethink your approach. I’m still reading it, but can already say it’s completely worth reading.

Slechte kwaliteit van het boek. De moment dat je het opendoet vallen er al pagina’s uit. Daarnaast is het boek ook niet echt inspirerend. Niet zijn geld waard.
