I’ve been working through ‘A Path through the Jungle’ by the estimable Professor Steve Peters with several clients, and I’d like to recommend it here. Professor Peters is responsible for the best-selling ‘The Chimp Paradox’, and this is a psychological health and wellbeing programme/workbook that builds on that.
It enables the reader to put into practice the lessons and techniques and learnings from his former work, and understand and manage your thoughts and emotions to make the most of yourself and be who you would like to be.
The explanations, examples and exercises are covered in eight stages:
✔ Understanding your mind
✔ Emotional management
✔ Working with emotions
✔ Changing habits and managing life events
✔ The two main stabilisers of the mind
✔Creating a stress-free lifestyle
✔ Optimising interactions with others
✔ Pulling it all together
It covers a lot of ground, over some 400 pages, but is well worth the effort in my humble opinion😊, as a reference point and/or guidebook.
