Product Information

I think I may have marked more of this book than not. Due to the nature of books on self, it's hard to say whether I would recommend this book to you. If you are looking for someone else to provide answers, this isn't the book. This is more like a quiet voice in your ear helping to give you new places to look inside for those answers. Emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and meditation are powerful tools for building self-awareness and breaking free from self-sabotaging patterns.

I’ve read multiple books about changing thought patterns and this was the first one that gave me multiple “aha” moments in personal development.This could mean losing relationships and friends. This may mean you could become less liked and understood. It may mean floundering for a while until you find your north star. “It doesn’t matter,” insists Wiest. “The people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of being understood, you’re going to be seen.” 3. Comfort is the driving force of human behavior. And finally, The Mountain Is You taught me the one person in my way is myself and that I am also the only person who can save me from me only madness. And so, I can continue to resist the change I know is necessary, I can continue to dig in my heels and continue screwing up my life because I’m too afraid to live it. Or, alternatively, I can step out of my own way. I can decide that I want better for myself because I deserve better, especially from myself. I choose the latter. Think of microshifts as tiny increments of change in your day-to-day life. A microshift is changing what you eat for one part of one meal just one time. Then it’s doing that a second time and a third. Before you even realize what’s happening, you’ve adopted a pattern of behavior. What you do every single day accounts for the quality of your life and the degree of your success. It’s not whether you “feel” like putting in the work, but whether or not you do it regardless.”

Dude, your head is literally a part of your body 🤦🏻‍♀️ like read a biology textbook once. I see that she’s trying to tell something about somatization of mental illness, but damn phrase it better. The Mountain Is You » reminded me of a recycled version of ‘101 essays that will change the way you think’ with some concepts and morals being hammered over and over again.. A few parts of the book were captivating and resonated with me but then drifted off into a massive mountain (no pun intended) of self help cliches... Some quotes I found to be disappointing and degrading as well : “self sabotage is ultimately just a product of low emotional intelligence” p.103 (I mean…really ?!) Many people say that you have to love yourself first before you can love others, but really, if you learn to love others, you will learn to love yourself Brianna Wiest, The Mountain Is You Another popular quote from Brianna Wiest about what self-care truly entails. Understanding the root causes of self-sabotage, such as fear, shame, and limiting beliefs, is key to overcoming it.The self-sabotaging behaviors we engage in are symptoms. You need to get to the root of the behavior to dismantle the pattern and ultimately stop the self-sabotaging altogether. “You cannot get rid of the coping mechanisms and think you’ve solved the problem,” explains Wiest. You must find healthier means of meeting your needs. You must know what your needs are in the first place. 5. The only person who can save you from your own madness is yourself. Browse the summary and synopsis of The Mountain Is You to know what the book is about and determine whether to read it or not. This book also talks about the depth by which a trauma can effect a person and can be major barrier affecting not only their present but future as well and all of it is just because we're not giving enough attention to things triggering us and we are just trying to find happiness by focusing on what could or might happen in the future not knowing that it actually is a process of disassociation. It is very hard to show up as the person you want to be when you are surrounded by an environment that makes you feel like a person you aren’t.
