The Chimp Paradox: The Acclaimed Mind Management Programme to Help You Achieve Success, Confidence and Happiness

by Steve Peters

main factors found in the Human and Chimp that influence the way in which you act. For example, the tenacity that you have to fulfil your drives and ambitions is a major factor for success and is part of your personality. How flexible and adaptable you are to different situations will also determine how successful you will be in your ventures. Repeated ingrained behaviours, or habits, are generally accepted as the way in which your personality is demonstrated, so behaviours are often worth changing if they are unhelpful! We have discussed the Mindset under the Computer chapter. Clearly the Mindset that you hold, constructed in the Computer, will also contribute to the personality that you have and influence the way that the Human and Chimp act and think. People who have a positive image of themselves and of others, and who live in a world that is perceived as pleasant, are far more likely to have the same kind of personality.
