Danila's Reviews > The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery

Brianna Wiest’s audiobook also seems like a personal coaching session due to its plethora of insights and practical advice, helping one to recognize the patterns that they have been stuck in, and for them to start to create the routines which they need for growth and fulfillment.

I selected this (audiobook) because I have always been interested in personal development, and I love contemplating the psyche of humans.

It is truly diverse in its subject matter, mentioning self-sabotage, resilience, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence, and is able to discuss these issues authoritatively and in a way that is easy to digest.

I was also drawn to the book because I have had my own struggles with self-doubt and negative habits. I was looking for more than just understanding; I was wanting a way to create real change in my life, and this turned out to be the perfect audiobook. Throughout the discussion, while feeling comforted, I noticed these chills or emotional rushes from her remarks and insights. I loved the fact that it was a way to listen to an author, and then hearing the type of voice that I could read her words in.

Throughout the audiobook, you will feel a range of emotions; you may feel a sense of understanding during some of the more challenging parts where she calls you out on some of your own habits, while at another time you may feel that sense of motivation and empowered by these reminders of your potential. The journey is introspective and emotion, full of challenges and change. When you start caring about yourself and what you put into your body, health becomes part of your life. Some people don’t like what you’re doing but stay committed to your health. Start caring about you and the rest will follow.
