Credited for UK cycling team's 10s of gold medals

What did you love best about The Chimp Paradox?

Written by the chap credited with helping the UK cycling team win tens of medals over the last eight years. There is something for everybody who listens..Really solid tips and techniques to manage one's demons.. Or chimps! Great advice on my personal challenge of distraction and people pleasing... And, while I listened, I thought great advice for my friend with anxiety, my other friend with depression and my friend struggling with addiction. And even an explanation and tips on managing road rage and other outbursts of fury...Want to buy copies for all I know, and I don't remember ever saying that before

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Chimp Paradox?

Too many to relate

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

Success in life is a question of understanding how our brain chimp behaves and how to manage it.

Absolutely must read!

Any additional comments?

I never write reviews. I only read them. However, this time I have to write this down. This book is fabulous.I have read quite some books on negotiations and how the mind works. This one beats them all If you like pratical books and not so much academic analyses, this one would fit for you.I strongly recommend this book. Read this, and you will much better understand yourself and the people surrouding you. Have fun, Patrick from The Netherlands.

Terrible hard to listen to

Very hard to keep attention with this book due to bored tone of voice. Might be interesting. Will try reading the book... Recommended if you want to go to sleep..

Great book! It simplifies the understanding of the brain

It explains very complex concepts of neurology and brain function using analogies and easy to understand examples.

Very boring

The performance is so bad. I wasn't interested after 2 or so hours into the book. I like the main idea but it was clear after about 2 hours. Reading the book might be more enjoyable and beneficial but i cant say since i didn't and wont read it.

Great stories and practical help

It’s not often you hear an academic present something in an understandable format that is also of practical use to normal people, love the book thank you very much Professor Steve Peters

Good listen for general perspective

Necessary, insightful concepts communicated in plain language.

The science nerd in me didn't like the concept of my "universe", when the author was clearly describing a solar system, but it's a small point to overlook when the book's lessons are valuable and applicable to a wide range of events and personalities.

Amazingly eye opening!

Prof has written and read aloud a great book, made many concepts seem easy to grasp. Which coming from me means a lot, I find most concepts hard to understand! I would recommend everybody read or listen to this many times it’s changed my life.

Very good book

I enjoyed it very much, it’s very helpful and full of knowledge and information. Must read for everyone.
