My Hidden Chimp: From the best-selling author of The Chimp Paradox

Product Information

We must learn to recognise who the Chimp is, what it does, and acknowledge when it is the inner Chimp who is doing the thinking. Although this is very clearly the 'children's version', with its colourful pictures and child friendly language, I think there would be far more benefit if used by an adult and child together. In society, this drive can lead to obesity, because it’s far less likely that we won’t be able to find food again after a meal. This is an important and another groundbreaking new book from the bestselling author of The Chimp Paradox and the creator of the chimp management mind model. Sometimes it is worth going along with the feelings and allowing her to do as she wants, so that she can reassure herself that she is secure, until she decides that she wants to try for more independence.

My Hidden Chimp is an effective and powerful new educational book that offers parents, teachers and carers some ideas and thoughts on how to help children to develop healthy habits for life.Even when the logical human is in control, the Chimp often keeps a running commentary of gloom and doom. There are opportunities for the reader to consider their own emotions and behaviours, to jot down their observations and reflections and to take an active role in their behaviour management. For this I am forever grateful and will without a doubt use their services if needed again in the future. Once your Chimp logs an emotional response, it decides on a course of action and then looks to your Human for confirmation. This could be read alongside an adult or read independently but should form the focus of a discussion and be part of an on-going focus on emotions and behaviour regulation.

It then offers practical ideas for the reader, using the 10 habits from My Hidden Chimp as examples. T hese lower level selves…want to fight even when their higher level selves want to figure things out.My Hidden Chimp is from the bestselling author of The Chimp Paradox and the creator of the chimp management mind model. In this article, we’ll explain the key differences between these kinds of thinking and what motivates your inner Chimp and Human. Passively reading the book is unlikely to be as effective as reading it, thinking things through and practicing some things. The discussion here of the inner Chimp’s gender is based on physiological differences in men and women that correspond to different evolutionary needs of male and female chimpanzees in the jungle.
