Why is it so hyped up?

The only reason I can think of why this book is overly hyped is lack of basic life experiences. Because if you’re over 20 it is generally a universal experience to go through the things the author describes in the book and find your own unique way to deal with it.

Apart from that, my previous book on Audible was the Atomic Habits. The fist half of the Mountain is You is an oversimplified version of Atomic Habits word for word with no research or supporting materials. If that’s not bad enough, I can clearly hear her mixing the book the Vortex by Abraham Hicks into her writing, which should be identified as a teaching school if it’s used.

This book is a pure, undiluted “motivational speaker” book, in the worst sense. I could barely finish it also because of the annoyance that the voice caused (but I can never just put a book down after starting). The narrator tries too hard to be “joyous” and it shows.

2 stars because some beginners on the topic might be inspired to read more on it.

Really enjoyed this book

Definitely a book that will make you stop and think about life
So would recommend it

Finding your authentic Self

If I had to recommend just one life enhancing book, it would be this one♥️ Such insightful writing from such a young woman. You can choose your ‘wound’ and then apply her observations to how to heal… I kept finding myself nodding and saying “yes!” and laughing and crying. I keep re-listening to it and think I will also buy the book. It arrived at me at just the right moment…♥️

Very insightful

Very good, clear and easy to follow what should be a very complicated subject matter.

Perfection

Brianna Wiest has written a few hours of narrated perfection. This audiobook will
Prove more useful than months of 1-2-1 psycho therapy. It is the best book I’ve ever read/heard on the subject of experiencing enlightenment. Get it. Trust me.

Ps. The guy at the top of this review chain sounds bitter and jealous to me.

Effortless listen, great narration, great advice

Understand myself so much more and how to actually tackle problems practically and WHY, and generally how to make the most out of my life. I've literally just finished it and want to relisten again 😭

Eye opening book on self sabotaging patterns

Really informative and a great read if you’re on a self discovery path. Some hard truths to take stock and accountability of how your actions are often the route cause of your issues. Highly recommend.

Can’t wait to read again!

What an awesome read with a clear breakdown of actionable. I can’t wait to give it another read and to implement all the information and knowledge gained. This is perfect for those experiencing self doubt and self sabotage
, and even perfect for those who are confident in themselves but need to work on areas that prevent them from growing mentally

It’s a very clever new angle on psychology

I have read many well known titles to help understand my mind and help improve my wellbeing and overcome inherent hinderances. One thing that I have asked psychologists and counsellors, plus sought an answer to through reading is “why do I self sabotage?”… that was my own definition… this book addresses EXACTLY that question, and does so from a variety of aspects. I totally recommend it, for me it has been a game changer. I have been looking for this help for decades.

Powerful and insightful

Well delivered and very informative common sense approach to self-development; nice soothing voice. Makes sense to me; most of all it got through to me that it's the small steps that matter the most when it comes to changing one's habits for the better and to be in the present as much as possible.
