The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery

by: Brianna Wiest (0)

This is a book about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing itā€”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.

The Reviews

I donā€™t really write reviews ,but felt compelI needed to with this one. My goal is to shine light on the negative comments that may make you not want to buy this good book!First of all the book comes in a plastic wrap which is very nice! I like the fact that itā€™s a brand new fresh copy in plastic!!! Feel good vibes lol Second I donā€™t know why this book is not for sale at Barnes & Noble lol itā€™s really is (A good read)I highlighted everything that resonated with me and I will continue to go back to it.The book is short 240 pages. Doesnā€™t explain in great detail how to resolve the problems so much, I do believe it will shine a light and bring awareness on yourself sabotaging traits. Like it done for me , If you acknowledge the problem you can work on it . This will help you realize the problem. Which is priceless! Get the book! I believe the negative comments wants a therapist in $17 book lolSide note I am a professional psychic for 22 yearsShe also noted which I see a lot in my professionalPeople believe theyā€™re psychic and sabotaging there own lives by it . She said a few times in the book youā€™re not a fortuneteller lol and Iā€™m all about intuition ,But sometimes these thoughts are simply not true that you believe and could potentially ruin a great deal for your self.

Finished this book in less than a month which is rare for me but the gems kept me hooked. This book really opened my eyes and mind to what I was doing and how I can improve to better my life and connections. My favorite book right now. Iā€™m going to read it again.

At the end of every day of reading this book, I felt inner peace and calmness. Really helped Me appreciate myself without overthink of my social status. Neat book highly recommended

I broke this book down into bite size pieces, reading only a section a day so I could process what I was reading and reflect for a little - honestly, the hype was nearly worth it.If youā€™re looking for a self help book that walks the line between gentle and firm, and donā€™t want to get bogged down by an author trying to unload the entirety of an advanced degree onto their readers, youā€™ll be hard pressed to find many books better than this

I wanted to learn about self growth and this book really helped me to do it. I truly recommend it.

It's like an accountability mirror. All things in the book don't apply to every single person but there are some great tips and help to reflect on your own life decisions.

If you need a how to guide on processing your emotions, reprocessing trauma, and not identifying with your emotions, thoughts, and past, this book is for you. Cost less then therapy.

Will read again. Gained a lot.

So well written, amazing book! I loved every minute of it, so inspiring! Canā€™t wait to read more of her books

This book changed my life and I encourage everyone to get out of their own way and read it.

I'm so glad I got this book versus the other book I was eyeing. The other one was more expensive, naturally I assumed it was somehow better, Ha! I was wrong. This book will ground you when you've been spinning your broken wheel for most of your life and now you're ready for a change. "When the student is ready the teacher will appear." - Tao Te Ching I certainly found this book when I needed it. I will always cherish the insights given to me by other books - the plain fact is that sometimes just "doing it" is the cure to most procrastination. But when you find outward actions as monotonous or pointless, it's the time to deep dive. This book will be your guide to your buried treasure within.

What a fantastic inspiring book. My daughter recommended I give this book a read and I am so glad she did. Itā€™s written by a young woman about 30 years old who has the wisdom of someone who has lived life fully and had learned life changing lessons s along the way. I recommend this book.

This might have been more informative that the therapists Iā€™ve gone too. This is the feedback I need. If you want healing from your past or futureā€¦ read this!

I loved this book, it was a great read and I enjoyed highlighting parts of it.

Really good read for anyone who is unassuming & wants to self assess. Wish the author was more relatable to the content while being directive to the reader (this made the content occasionally dry), but recommended nonetheless.

An Awakening. Looking forward to incorporating these thoughts in to my every day life. Thankful that I read it and will read it again and again on the journey of my life.

great book. needed this. read the entire thing in 2 days but will definitely reread slowly to reflect and apply the techniques

*this review is for all of the self help books Iā€™ve recently bought.** Iā€™ve only just started this book so I canā€™t give a full review yet but this will be a marker for when I have finished (kinda a note to myself). Iā€™m currently working on myself, working tirelessly to fix or mend the broken pieces of myself that I donā€™t understand so this is the start. Self sabotage is something that I struggle with constantlyā€¦ I am not confident and this book even from page one gives me hope of gaining confidence and understanding myself

Received the book really fast. Got here a few days before expected. The book is in perfect condition and Iā€™m really excited to start reading it

I have no words except ā€œlife changingā€. Brianna Wiest is a literary genius. I learn so much every time I pick up one of her books. If you like this book I definitely recommend 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think. Itā€™s one of my all time favorite books and goes hand in hand with The Mountain Is You. Both books are a gold mine for self development and awareness.

This was an amazing journey of self discovery and reflectionā€¦ I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an opportunity to pursue shadow work and take a look at the person within.

Most genuinely helpful and awakening book, as well as enlightening! Honestly not even finished reading but absolutely grateful this book has crossed my path when it did. I will forever highly recommend this book the anyone I cross that is too struggling with life !

I got it for my dad for a Christmas present it is great quality and got here a week early

This book absolutely rocked my world. It put things so simplistically and made me think of things I had never thought of. I recommend this book to everyone. Called me out!!

Brianna, thank you. Thank you for putting together such a powerful series of words, sentences, paragraphs! This book really allowed me to take a step back and think about why I really do what I do. To anybody considering this as their next readā€”get it!!

came in great condition

I think this has all the core therapy advice I've received over years, so it was solid, but it's a lot to process at once. I don't think that's bad, I think people newer to these concepts should take this as one reference point, then seek some of the ideas to dive deeper into. Overall, I think it was well laid out and a good collection of good life advice!

Excellent book on overcoming the obstacles that we set in front of ourselves. Practical application can be found while reading this book.

I have never related more to a book!! If you struggle with anxiety that sabotages the important parts of your lifeā€¦ this book is for you!!! Brianna Weist has defined me and has given me direction and hope!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book! I have ordered 2 of her other books after reading this book.

Thereā€™s a lot to learn from this book. I read it slowly & methodically. I drank it all in! It brought me a ton of clarity.

This book has opened my eyes and to look at things a lot differently!! I recommend this to anyone who is at their lowest !!

There were so many ah-ha! Moments while reading this publication. The author does a fantastic job of breaking down self sabotaging behaviors, possible root causes, how our brain is wired and so much more. I highly recommend this book.
