Story
Traditionally, businesses have relied on a 'command and control' management style, focusing on rigid hierarchies and compliance from employees. Covey argues we must shift from a 'command and control' to a 'trust and inspire' leadership model. Trusting and inspiring your team is defined by commitment from both sides, with a focus on effectiveness and fostering a growth mindset. It is based on the belief that employees are creative, collaborative, and full of potential; through trust, you can inspire them to do their best work.

Self-esteem, particularly when it is already low, can lead to serious issues, exacerbating both depression and anxiety. Your well-being is intricately linked to your perception of the self. This is why it is a good idea to surround yourself with positive people and ideas that can sustain your inner positivity. Despite the fact that so many people may feel as though therapy is stigmatized or a sign of weakness, it is actually the opposite. When you engage in therapy, you recognize that you have a problem. Rather than running away from it, you are facing it head-on.

Story
There are many ways of describing overthinking. It can be understood as a situation where one cannot stop worrying and thinking about things. Overthinking is not a disorder. It involves a fear that grows in you and overwhelms you, but you can’t help yourself but let it do so. In some cases, instead of crying it out, you simply opt to hold back your tears. It’s the fear of failure: failing at your job, failing a certain class, failing in your relationships.
Summary
The new self-development programme from the author of the smash best seller The Chimp Paradox.
All of us face challenges, rough patches and struggles in life. And during these times we are often our own worst enemies, experiencing unwelcome emotions, thoughts and behaviours. The one thing that has stood out to Professor Peters in his years of supporting people as a Consultant Psychiatrist is that no matter what you may be facing in life, if you have the right mental toolkit in place then you will be able to cope - and even thrive.
Now, the best-selling author of The Chimp Paradox, has created a structured, practical self-development programme to help you attain psychological health and wellbeing. Professor Peters explains complex neuroscience in straightforward terms with his Chimp Mind Model. The eight stages of the book will help you to focus, empower yourself and lead you along a path to robustness and resilience.
“I sincerely hope that you will find the book helpful, and that the jungle of life will become much more manageable, as you find your own inner strength." (Professor Peters)

As good as the Chimp Paradox
The Chimp Paradox revolutionised my life. It gave me vocabulary to describe what was going on inside my head. A Path through the Jungle builds on this and is equally as life changing. Some sections really resonated with me. I love the way it starts with a recap of the Chimp model, then goes on with practical lessons. The idea of ‘ghost’ emotions explained a concept which I’ve never been able to articulate. I love the audiobook; hearing SP’s voice is so calming.

Life changing
. The author:
Professor Steve Peters is a Consultant Psychiatrist who specialises in the functioning of the human mind.
. Main idea:
All of us face challenges, rough patches and struggles in life.
During these times we are often our own worst enemy, experiencing unwelcome emotions, thinking and behaviours. The one thing that has stood out to Professor Steve Peters in his years of supporting people as a Consultant Psychiatrist is that no matter what you may be facing in life, if you have the skills to be in a good place emotionally then you can cope, thrive and present the real you to the world. Now, bestselling author of The Chimp Paradox, has created a structured, practical self-development programme to help you attain psychological health and wellbeing.
The 8 stages of the book will help you to focus on yourself, empower you and leads you along a path to robustness and resilience. If we could have perfect management of our mind, and be robust and resilient, life would be so much easier; so why can't we? This book will:
* Explain why and how to manage the struggle within the mind
* Help to put you into a good place within yourself
* Take you along a path leading to robustness and resilience
* Offer you a practical structured programme
* Demonstrate how to acquire the skill of mind management.
Areas covered include:
* Improved relationships
* Emotional management
* Self-confidence
* Peace of mind
* Happiness
* Managing stress.
Professor Peters explains complex neuroscience in straightforward terms with his Chimp Management Mind Model. This is one of the most important books I have ever read. I will be using the lessons from it for years to come.
. Quote:
“how can you determine who you really are? To work out who you really are as a person is easy to do. If you wrote a list of all the things you would like to be, you may write things like calm, compassionate, reasonable, positive, confident and happy, then this is who you really are. Any deviation from this is a hijacking by the Chimp.”

Critique:
* = simply dumb & crazy; terrible advice & research; why was this book written?
** = overall conclusion was flawed but there were some well made points
*** = went some way to changing my view of the subject; would probably apply some of the conclusions
**** = moved the topic forward; deserves a wide audience; generally well thought out
***** = life changing & irrefutable; amazing research & argument; will tell everyone I speak to about it
Usefulness:
* = didn't learn anything new
** = learnt one or two new things, but nothing much
*** = learned a fair bit; several new titbits which I can use
**** = learned a lot; will affect the way I think
***** = learned loads; game changer to the way consider the topic
Interest:
* = ZZZZZZZZzzzz ….

It’s challenge but well worth it
I loved the science and some of the content. I found it rousing, but also mixed.
There are excellent templates, tips, and a truly helpful mode of the mind. This is where the book is truly beneficial. In particular, it’s model of the monkey, the human, and our computer. Knowing the tug of war between the human and monkey is a particularly useful model for thinking about the world. As are the components, such as the “stone of life” and various grounding techniques that are discussed.
That said, it is a trudge at points. It covers many bases. The examples, while illustrative, do seem dry and sterile. It made it a challenge to get through at moments.
Nevertheless, the book is worthy and absolutely beneficial. It helped me understand my internal emotional states, and was empowering at moments.

Love it, get it, follow the path!
Big fan of the original paradox, this brings it all together. Bought the paperback for reference and use the audiobook to provide reminders while commuting. Helped me understand myself but more importantly the people in my life in chimp mode. Also plenty of support on the website to fill in any gaps. Should be part of the school curriculum!

A Path to Sanity
Well, having read The Chimp Paradox I can say that this book builds nicely on the lsssons of the former publication. That said, there is a comprehensive section in this book that assures new readers that the need to read Peters first book is not necessary in order to understand and put into practice the extended lesson in this book.
Overall, this book helps those to manage their emotions that, more often than not, run their lives for them.
