    The Chimp Paradox

    by Prof Steve Peters

    A popular book with clients, this read uses an analogy of the psychological universe to help understand common human experiences. In particular, the role of the part of ourselves needing basic needs to be met, the chimp, is well reviewed — including how to effectively manage this monkey! Though based in psychology principles, this is a great book to start the process of exploring psychological principles of our thinking and behaviour.
