The Mountain is You – New Year Book Recommendation

The Mountain Is You

Written by Brianna Wiest

This is a book about self-sabotage

Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it—for good.

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.

The Mountain is You is utterly astounding, packed full of information on mindfulness, spirituality, and self-improvement.

Some of it is basic to those who’ve done a lot of self-work. First you need to be self-aware to pick up this irresistible wellness book. I suggest you do it now!

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Reading forces you to be quiet in a world that no longer makes a place for that.
