How To Take Full Control Of Your Mind: Prof. Steve Peters, The Chimp Paradox

My work now is helping people to optimize performance, get a good relationship with themselves, finding a peace, happiness, confidence. Professor Steve Peters, he's a world leading psychiatrist, arguably one of the most famous, renowned, and important of our time. You will come out the other side much better. People do recover from broken relationships. People don't know What tends to happen is people either don't recognise they're getting stressed and it becomes chronic and they've got these behaviours which are damaging to them, as people think stress is where we're ringing our hands and panicking and that's not really true. Stress comes in all different forms and often it isn't recognised. Even for people in a much more serious situation where they become uh suicidal, you can tell them with honesty there is always a future, and things do change and feelings do move.

We have to accept that reality. We cannot know everything about the person we're with. And if our chimps switch A panicky a bit and want guarantees and what then we're we're going down the wrong path and we have to tell our chimp you can't do this. Professor Steve Peters. He's a world leading psychiatrist, arguably one of the most famous, renowned, and important of our time. He's also a doctor and a hugely successful author. Some of you, most of you will know him from his best selling book.

The chimp paradox. Which has sold millions of copies worldwide. And that's a book that actually saved the lives of some people very close to me. He's worked with elite level athletes, including Steven Gerard and the England football team and Ronnie O'Sullivan, gold medal Olympians like Sir Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton, as well as business leaders and CEOs, and he helps them overcome what he calls mental dysfunction. He's helped them optimize for performance and he's really helped them get out of their own way. And in many respects in life, we're all in our own way.
