The Chimp Paradox (book and audiobook)
This mind management model, developed by Professor Steve Peters, is one of my favourites. He uses the metaphor of a 'chimp' part of the brain, a 'human' part of the brain, and the 'computer', where their automatic behaviours and thoughts are stored. Understanding how to manage both bits and reprogramme the computer can be a very powerful way to manage the mind, and has been vouched for by many athletes, amongst others.
What they say
The Chimp® Model simplifies neuroscience to help you understand your mind and make positive, practical changes in your life. Whether for self-development or team wellbeing and performance, we support areas like relationships, communication, managing stress, and building resilience.
