If you are so tired of being too hard on yourself but don't know why and how to stop, this book is for you. If you just feel too much and can't seem to let go of the things hurting you, it's for you.

Next, The Mountain Is You presents strategies for identifying and stopping self-destructive behaviors. You should go deep into your core needs and release emotions properly. What triggers your self-sabotage is what guides you to overcome adversity and build a positive life. I love this book so much I made a summary document on Notion so even if you don't read it, just go through my notes. Or you can use it as your notes after reading the books. Reading The Mountain Is You signals your readiness for change. That said, change without a little bit of help can be hard. So there is an official workbook via Thought Catalog Books that will help you realize many of the lessons in the book in your real life. The workbook offers prompts to guide introspection and navigation through your personal challenges. You can find it here. You have to remember that your feelings, while valid, are not often real. They are not always accurate reflections of reality. They are, however, always accurate reflections of our thoughts.” There is quite a bit of redundancy throughout this book which eventually becomes tautological, especially when there are generic quotations and ideas mentioned.I think this could be a great book if you’re a beginner to self development, but if you’ve been reading around this topic for some time already, you may not get what you need from this book specifically. Think of microshifts as tiny increments of change in your day-to-day life. A microshift is changing what you eat for one part of one meal just one time. Then it’s doing that a second time and a third. Before you even realize what’s happening, you’ve adopted a pattern of behavior. What you do every single day accounts for the quality of your life and the degree of your success. It’s not whether you “feel” like putting in the work, but whether or not you do it regardless.”

Dude, your head is literally a part of your body 🤦🏻‍♀️ like read a biology textbook once. I see that she’s trying to tell something about somatization of mental illness, but damn phrase it better.You are not too broken to find someone who actually wants you, and when you begin to recognize that you are worthy of being committed to, you’ll start choosing partners who do just that.” A lot of books in this field of self help, especially when spirituality is utilized and the ideas of living in the Now have passed through me in reading other similar books, but here there was something different, there was something like a deep deep dissection of the human mind, finding the deepest triggers of feelings and the whole turmoil occurring inside us, and the great capability of the writer to be able to describe those thoughts and name them, and helping us after naming them to be able to recognize how they affect our general condition, and then reacting to them and changing our perspective of life. When we survey the book’s terrain from an eagle’s perspective, several foundational principles emerge. Here are some of those insights: The The Mountain Is You book is safe for readers of all ages as it doesn’t contain curse words or inappropriate content for younger people. Reading the book will let you go through layers of introspection and self-reflection.
