About this listen

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.

I need a copy of this book….that good!

This book is a guide, a therapy session, a workbook, a complete book which will surely help you. I usually do not like or enjoy self help books, but this one is just too good. Worth your time. I wouldn’t mind reading more books from this author.

Transforming Pain into Power – A Must-Read for Self-Growth

Brianna Wiest’s The Mountain Is You is a deeply introspective and transformative book that speaks directly to anyone struggling with self-sabotage, emotional blockages, or the weight of their past. Wiest beautifully weaves psychology, self-awareness, and personal growth into a guide that feels both practical and profoundly inspiring.

One of the book’s strongest points is its emphasis on emotional intelligence and the power of inner work. Chapters like Building Emotional Intelligence and Releasing the Past hit home, offering actionable insights into why we hold ourselves back and how to break free from old patterns. Wiest doesn’t just preach self-improvement—she gives readers the tools to make lasting change.

Her writing is poetic yet grounded, making complex emotions and personal struggles feel universally understood. She encourages readers to see their greatest challenges (their “mountains”) not as obstacles but as opportunities for growth.

For anyone on a journey of self-discovery, healing, or personal reinvention, The Mountain Is You is a game-changer. It’s not just a book; it’s a mirror that reflects your deepest truths and nudges you toward the best version of yourself. Highly recommended!

Peels all the layers

This book forces you to look within . It makes sure you peel the layers and go deep into introspection . Enables you to look within instead of looking outside for answers . Explains the self sabotaging behavior we might not be aware of and how deep rooted certain belief system tend to be . An amazing read . Highly recommend . The type of book you could read again n again and learn new things about yourself every time .

A good read

Even though the content was factually correct, yet substantiating with scientific references and research would have added more depth. Nonetheless, it was a good read, would recommend to anyone who wants to introspect and improve the inherent hindrances in the path of success.

Amazing read

This one book changed my life in 2023 and i am so so grateful to the author and to the person narrating this. The combination is so powerful and really helps you understand what the author is trying to convey in an effective manner. Highly recommended to anyone going through a period of change or anxiety or basically anyone looking for self healing and improvement.
