EMG’s Top Book Recommendation: “The Mountain is You” by Brianna Wiest
In the consulting realm, where diverse communities intersect, I find immense joy in sharing the wealth of opportunities, talents, and experiences to empower individuals on their journey toward self-improvement. Countless celebrities, gurus, and coaches often advocate for the transformative power of books, and personally, I’ve gleaned profound insights about myself and others through the written word, be it in traditional book form, through audiobooks, or on digital tablets.
As an integral part of our training and coaching sessions, we frequently draw inspiration from various sources, including quotes, newspaper articles, research papers, and books. Today, I’m excited to kick off our book recommendation series, starting with “The Mountain is You” by Brianna Wiest. Having immersed myself in its pages, I’m eager to share the valuable insights I’ve gained.
Wiest’s book delves into the intricate reasons behind the need for change, guiding readers through the journey of self-discovery. At the core of her exploration is the understanding that, as humans, we coexist with our thoughts and behaviors, often falling victim to self-sabotage. “The Mountain is You” serves as a guidebook, offering a pathway to change one’s life radically. Chapter 4, titled “Building Emotional Intelligence,” particularly captivated me. Wiest asserts, “Self-sabotage is ultimately just a product of low emotional intelligence.” This profound statement adds a new dimension to our understanding of emotional intelligence, shedding light on how our thoughts, bodies, and behaviors can lead to self-sabotage when internal struggles persist.
At EMG, we specialize in working with individuals to resolve these internal conflicts. Utilizing assessment tools such as DiSC and EQ, we draw on the expertise of researchers Gary Low, Ph.D., and Rick Hammett, EDD, to foster an “abundance of curiosity and imagination.” This process “creates a mind map that unveils the transformative journey towards emotional intelligence.”
“The Mountain is You” serves as the perfect companion to explore internal thoughts and their connection to emotional intelligence.
