Synopsis:
Brianna West’s The Mountain is You is all about self-sabotage. It answers three age-old questions: why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it for good. West contends that it is conflicting needs that result in self-sabotaging behaviors and attitudes. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until we realize how pointless this resistance actually is. However, we can turn things around by delving deeper into our most self-destructive habits, building emotional intelligence by decoding our brains and bodies, letting go of the past even at a subconscious level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves.
For centuries, philosophers have used the mountain as a metaphor for the daunting challenges we face, especially ones that seem insurmountable. To scale our mountains, we need to do the internal work of digging out long-term trauma, building resilience, and fine-tuning our attitude for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves. And that is precisely the message The Mountain is You tries to drive home.
