This is a book about self-sabatoge. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it—for good. Conflicting needs that coexist lead to self-destructive behaviors. We fight change because of this, frequently to the point where it seems entirely pointless. 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. The mountain has been compared for ages to the significant difficulties we face, particularly those that seem insurmountable. 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. This book will not only help you recognize how much self-sabotage you engage in, but it will also leave you feeling at ease and completely motivated to take action in the direction of bigger goals. If you want to know why we set out determined to achieve certain ideas, ambitions, or dreams but find ourselves acting contrary to them. It's an easily readable book that doesn't mince words in an effort to soften the blow but instead gets right to the point. It challenges the reader to experience multiple instances of profound self-awareness and ownership.
