The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery

From international bestselling author Brianna Wiest, this practical and motivational self-help book explores the core reasons behind self-sabotage and provides a framework for achieving self-mastery.

• Structured in three parts: observing the mountain (understanding roots of sabotage), ascending it (rewiring patterns), and reaching the summit (building resilience).
