|Super Read!,
I noticed that this is a collection of multiple books by this author, and nearly all of them are right up my alley. Such a steal!
I really can’t speak highly enough of Lindstrom’s books. They’re all very down to earth, actionable, and filled with life wisdom. So many golden nuggets in this collection, I can’t even begin to put them down here. But I can say this – they all spoke to me on a very deep, personal level and I feel almost compelled to make some real changes in my life. This book helped me get off to a good start.
Yes, life is tough sometimes, but so are we. And so are you.

|Excellent contribution of self-help and for psychotherapists.,
The author describes in a very clear way how it works, what triggers and what habits feed this way of survival that she names the Monkey mind, since this component of our brain “It just gets a little wild and overreactive sometimes, like a monkey” . So when this hypervigilant mechanism is activated no matter how intelligent you are all your perception is distorted by fear and it sequesters our mind.
One of the explanations that shed more light to understand many of my reactions, including my emotional motives in decision making, is what is referred to as the monkey mid-set: Intolerance of uncertainty, Perfectionism and Over-responsibility. It is surprising that we continue to think that we are rational beings when everything really revolves around emotional motivations, feeling safe, feeling accepted and part of a tribe, not making mistakes not to be judged negatively, etc. Rationality implies our ability to justify those emotional motivations; Plan and have future strategies to anticipate emotional conflicts.
This simple script is programmed to drive survival at all costs. It works exceedingly well for this purpose, but it leaves us feeling stress and unpleasantness much of the time. And we strive a bit much to make decisions, to make the right choices, to control all the steps to follow, overplan things, we spend a lot of time worried, wanting to make others happy. From this monkey mindset many problems arise that fill us with anxiety and fear, affect our self-esteem, our concentration to achieve goals, overworking, depression, addiction, obsessive compulsive tendencies, among others.
To live more relaxed, enjoy the moment, raise our self esteem, live purposefully, reach our goals and manage our monkey mind Jennifer Shannon provides us with the “Expansion Strategies”. She explains how to integrate this new mind-set and how to make this expansive thinking a life experience. The monkey mind will continue to be part of us, but these strategies teach us to choose between remaining stressed and upset, or taking it as an opportunity for expansion, and claiming to live the moment in a new way.
My gratitude to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book

|yet sad sketches) of ‘monkey mind’ or circling,
While keeping her own anxiety and panic attacks under control, Shannon has treated others with fear, worry, and anxiety as a therapist for the past twenty years. She links it to the idea (and utterly cute, yet sad sketches) of ‘monkey mind’ or circling, seemingly ever-present thoughts of vile premonition, non-perfection, general threat, and concerns over personal & interpersonal safety. Only though reactivity, counteracting and challenging anxiety as it comes, and strategically keeping yourself busy, occupied, and motivated can one really quiet the monkey mind; overall, this book had a very direct way of speaking to me (and had me mentally yelling out “Truth!” in response to some of its statements) and I took so much relief and hope from it, too.
