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

by Steve Peters

Life is not fair. 2. The goal posts move. 3. There are no guarantees.

The Chimp always interprets first before the Human. • The Chimp only hands over to the Human if there is no danger or perceived threat. • The Human can intervene to stop the Chimp reacting by using facts and truths. • The Computer can be programmed to settle the Chimp down before it acts. • Personality is a mixture of Human, Chimp and Computer. • Nature and nurture both influence your personality. • Your Mindset affects the way that you come across. • You can work on the Human, Chimp and Computer to adjust your personality. • You are the person that you want to be but you are being hijacked by your Chimp into being someone else.
