The featured book today is The Chimp Paradox by Dr Steve Peters. This is the number 1 bestseller by Prof Steve Peters, consultant psychiatrist to Liverpool FC, Sky ProCycling, Ronnie O’Sullivan and the England football team.
I enjoyed the book but it did take a couple of reads to get to really understand his way of looking at how the mind works. Well worth a read. We all have that little chimp inside us and it is worth getting to grips with it!
