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.

Easily the BEST self-help book ever made. Extremely informative, insightful, unbiased, and helpfully suggestive. Easy to read, cites literature, and each chapter connects to the one before.

Definitely Worth Reading

This is everything I’ve learned in the last 4 years after awakening. It is so well organized with so many useful real life examples, it helped me make sense of things I had trouble putting into words. I got goosebumps when I finished the book. I hope to have my kids read it eventually. Life is too beautiful to just let it pass by. This book will keep that from happening.

Changed my life!

Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2024

I read this book while I was in my first 6 months of a 12 step addiction program, getting out of a toxic relationship, changing jobs, coming to terms with my poor choices over 20 years. I also just started attending trauma therapy. My thoughts were everywhere. I was so emotionally dysregulated, I now look back 1 year later and wonder how I ever survived. Briana’s writing is so beautiful. I tell my friends, “she gently gives you the hard truth” and that is what I need as an Aquarius. I have re-read portions of the book when I am struggling in between therapy appointments and it has probably saved my life a few times in addition to my other resources. I am able to stop ruminating & delusional thoughts that lead to fear and maladaptive coping. I still struggle with avoidance and functional freeze so, I just ordered the workbook so I can go even deeper and stop patterns before they start. Briana, thank you for all of you books and podcasts! I am forever grateful your insight finds it way onto paper and into my soul.

Absolutely amazing and practical! I cannot wait to buy another book by Wiest! Her book is simplistic and instructional, which I like. She is very to the point, and that directness is so necessary when coming to realize that the mountain is you!

Just finished reading this with my mama. It's not super technical or science based, which makes it an easy read. Some parts are repetitive as other reviews have mentioned, but overall it is an empowering read.

It was a lot of deep information that gets you thinking of where you are, what you do, and where you are going. It was a slow read for me. It required the attention given the lessons.

My life experiences in a book

Reviewed in Canada on August 8, 2023

Verified Purchase

I thought about checking the references of this book a couple times to see if Brianna had my life story as a reference for this book. Especially in the first few chapters I have highlights and underlines on every page. I like that the book gets straight to the point, calls you out and then tells you how you can improve or what you need to pay attention to. There is much reference to shadows, shadow self, and pioneer of shadow work, Carl Jung, in this book that may lead you to your next book on shadow work to take a deeper dive and unpack your life to uncover your authentic self.

When I just got this book I was a little turned off by the fact that it doesn’t have a table of contents…. My brain wanted that. But I made peace with it and joined a book club that was reading the book a few months later and finally got into it. It is simple, Frank and to the point. Telling you things you know but need to be reminded of and things you know you should start or stop doing. Recommended read especially if you find yourself stuck. Recommended read for business women and entrepreneurs as well.

Excelente libro

Reviewed in Mexico on September 28, 2021

Verified Purchase

Es el libro que más me ha gustado porque te hace enfrentarte a ti mismo, es decir, analizarte y te ayuda a comprender más sobre tu persona. Lo que más me gusta es que no es un libro en el que solo te explica lo que es el autosabotaje y te explica porque es que es que se da esta situación sino que te aporta consejos o posibles soluciones que te pueden ayudar con ello.

Sobre el envío del libro puedo decir que llegó en excelente condición.
