The Chimp Paradox

Book • 2012
The Chimp Paradox by Dr. Steve Peters introduces a powerful mind management model that explains the internal struggle between the 'Chimp' (emotional and instinctive) and the 'Human' (rational and intelligent) parts of the brain.

The book helps readers recognize how their mind works, understand and manage their emotions and thoughts, and develop strategies to tame the 'Chimp' and make better decisions.

It also discusses the role of the 'Computer' part of the brain, which stores automatic habits and responses.

The book provides practical advice and exercises to help readers improve their daily lives, manage stress, and achieve their goals.
