About this listen
Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.
For centuries, the mountain has been used as a metaphor for the big challenges we face, especially ones that seem impossible to overcome. To scale our mountains, we actually have to do the deep internal work of excavating trauma, building resilience, and adjusting how we show up for the climb. In the end, it is not the mountain we master, but ourselves.

On the other side of the life you are trying to keep together, on the other side of the pain you think will never dissolve into peace, on the other side of everything you are forcing—is the life that is waiting. The life where you are not pushed by your fears, but moved by your vision. The life where the right things arrive, and remain, and you do not have to contort your truth to make them so.

Read People like a Book isn’t a normal book on body language or facial expressions. Yes, it includes all of those things, as well as new techniques on how to truly detect lies in your everyday life, but this book is more about understanding human psychology and nature. We are who we are because of our experiences and pasts, and this guides our habits and behaviors more than anything else. Parts of this book are like the most interesting and applicable psychology textbook you’ve ever used. Take a look inside yourself and others!

One of the book’s strongest points is its emphasis on emotional intelligence and the power of inner work. Chapters like Building Emotional Intelligence and Releasing the Past hit home, offering actionable insights into why we hold ourselves back and how to break free from old patterns. Wiest doesn’t just preach self-improvement—she gives readers the tools to make lasting change.
Her writing is poetic yet grounded, making complex emotions and personal struggles feel universally understood. She encourages readers to see their greatest challenges (their “mountains”) not as obstacles but as opportunities for growth.
For anyone on a journey of self-discovery, healing, or personal reinvention, The Mountain Is You is a game-changer. It’s not just a book; it’s a mirror that reflects your deepest truths and nudges you toward the best version of yourself. Highly recommended!
