The Mountain Is You

by Brianna Wiest

Three key ideas

  1. The book says some self-defeating behavior is a conflict between needs, such as progress and protection.
  2. Treat the competing-need idea as a question to investigate, not a diagnosis.
  3. A feeling can show fear or need and still hold an inaccurate prediction.

The five 2-minute lessons

  1. 1.Look for the competing need
  2. 2.Feelings are signals, not orders
  3. 3.Swap the pattern, don't ban it
  4. 4.Practice your future self today
  5. 5.Small adjustments add up
