The present moment is the only one we truly have control over, and our obsession with the future or past often contributes to unhealthy patterns and sabotaging behaviors. If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, then you might want to take it as a sign that something in your life warrants some changing. The Mountain is You is a book you shouldn’t miss if you are dedicated in improving your life. Brianna Wiest’s masterpiece is the perfect roadmap for understanding why we self-sabotage, when we do it, and how to stop doing it—for good.

Climbing a mountain is not just about reaching the top, it's about the journey you take to get there. You are the mountain." Brianna Wiest in New York City in 2022 signing copies of The Mountain Is You at the Strand Bookstore. The commitment to do actual inner work must be present because you may even find it cumbersome to internalize everything said in the book. You may even feel inundated with the awareness it brings, most especially when a subconscious part of you doesn’t want to heal. Similar to my journey with this book, I wasn’t entirely prepared to heal when I first grabbed a hold of it. I tried reading the first two chapters and eventually stopped. I was unmotivated at that moment. I know it was a good book, but something inside of me was resisting. I didn’t like how I feel at that moment so I stopped. Perhaps I was only excited with the idea of healing, but not committed to take any action of climbing my mountains. When we self-sabotage, it is often because we have a negative association between achieving the goal we aspire to and being the kind of person who has or does that thing.
