**The Mind Management Programme for Confidence, Success and Happiness**

**Do you sabotage your own happiness and success? ****Are you struggling to make
sense of yourself? ****Do your emotions sometimes dictate your life?**

_The Chimp Paradox _is an incredibly powerful mind management model that can help
you become a happy, confident, healthier and more successful person. Prof Steve 
Peters explains the struggle that takes place within your mind and then shows how
to apply this understanding to every area of your life so you can:

 * Recognise how your mind is working
 * Understand and manage your emotions and thoughts
 * Manage yourself and become the person you would like to be

The Chimp Mind Management Model is based on scientific facts and principles, which
have been simplified into a workable model for easy use. It will help you to develop
yourself and give you the skills, for example, to remove anxiety, have confidence
and choose your emotions. The book will do this by giving you an understanding of
the way in which your mind works and how you can manage it. It will also help you
to identify what is holding you back or preventing you from having a happier and
more successful life.

Each chapter explains different aspects of how you function and highlights key facts
for you to understand. There are also exercises for you to work with. By undertaking
these exercises you will see immediate improvements in your daily living and, over
time, you will develop emotional skills and practical habits that will help you 
to become the person that you want to be, and live the life that you want to live.
