EPISODE DESCRIPTION
Dr Steve Peters is a psychiatrist, sports psychology consultant, a professor and an author. Our brain is largely a black box. It's very important to how we experience life and yet we have very little insight into why it behaves the way it does. Steve has spent an entire career researching the strategies that empower the human mind to perform at its best and the secret to unlocking our full potential? Expect to learn how the Chimp Paradox can help you understand your brain, how to work with our negative emotions, how to manage anxiety, whether it’s possible to have an entirely stress-free life, what you can do to build your self esteem, why imposter syndrome exists, whether mental dysfunctions are actually on the rise, how to better deal with major setbacks in life and much more...

EPISODE SUMMARY
In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Chris Williamson and Dr Steve Peters, Become Unstoppable: The Man Behind The World's Top Performers - Dr Steve Peters explores Master Your Inner Chimp: Building Emotional Control And Peace Dr. Steve Peters explains his ‘Chimp Model’ of the mind, distinguishing between the emotional, impulsive ‘chimp’ system, the rational ‘human’, and a programmable ‘computer’ of habits and beliefs. He shows how recognizing this internal separation can transform self-esteem, emotional regulation, and performance, from Olympic champions to highly distressed patients.
