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.

"First audiobook I've ever listened to, definitely prefer the old-school method of a hard copy, so I may be biased. When I wasn't completely disassociating from the narrator, it had some really good thoughtful moments to make you reflect. Definitely worth the read, or listen, with breaks and notes to actually take in the information and analyze on your own to apply it towards your personal life. 12/25"

"Let’s face it, we all do it in one way or another the question is why? How do we stop? Pick up this book, listen to the audio version if short on time. Take notes, do the work. It’s definitely worth it for anyone willing to do some deep self exploration and become the best version of themselves. Highly recommend!"

"This book hit me pretty hard a few times and I feel like there was plenty more I could've absorbed, so I'm already considering when I'll relisten to it. The star deduction is for the rather haphazard or underwhelming structure and format of the book. I listened to the audiobook, so maybe the physical version was better, but it felt like the author jumped from topic to topic dropping a knowledge bomb or two then hopping to another."
