About This Book
Amazon Best Seller • An international bestseller published in more than 30 languages “If you’ve ever resisted good changes, you’ll find out why with Wiest’s assistance.” – Forbes “Wiest is realistic. The Mountain Is You is best approached as an exercise in harm reduction rather than a recipe for perfection. Even if you never reach the top of your mountain, you'll gain grace, resilience, and introspection that define modern leadership as you climb.” – Inc.
This is a book about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it—for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors.
This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential. For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome.
To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.

Astonishing.
This book has so much truth in it. The best “self-help” book I’ve read in a very long time! Love how she urges the reader to focus on themselves and what changes they can make to overcome their ‘mountain’. Live life to the fullest- not with many endeavors but being present, allowing emotions to come and go, and being responsive in place of reactive. TRANSFORMATIONAL!
Powerful
This book is so thought provoking and forces you to dive into your inner self. This book is essentially cheap therapy if you're willing to do the inner work. The author was so articulate in the words they wanted to express.
