Interesting book about how your mind works and how to get it under control when things stress/worry you. Would recommend!
I liked the concept and did find myself thinking about whether the chimp was in charge in my day to day life. I got a bit lost in some of the more detailed aspects but that was probably because I was listening to the audiobook. Print would enable you to reread and see the diagrams. Not sure I'll remember anything beyond the chimp idea in a few weeks but I did like the concepts.
This is a really useful book for coaches and those looking for ways to improve their performance. It is perhaps a bit over loaded with technical stuff about psychology that ordinary people do not need. However, you cannot knock the effect that Steve Peters has had in the sporting arena.
