You're very welcome! It is a book we both read and referred back to a lot when we were teachers as it is a real reminder of how and why we and the kids behave in certain ways 😊
This is an amazing book, I’m not a great reader , however I listen to audio books, as I find I take the information in better, and this book is amazing, absolutely fascinating and has made me realise and understand myself much better, I really enjoy watching and listening to your self care and mindset vlogs, much appreciated, thanks Richard
Thanks for your kind words Gee- glad you enjoyed the book. I think for me it was also how the information in the book helped me understand my inner voice and how I needed to be a bit kinder to myself with that inner voice. Many thanks again🙏
A great review of a book that I have read in the past. Time to revisit it again. 🙏 Richard for the prompt. It’s also a great audiobook for the walkers out there. 🚶
Thanks for this John- your kind words are much appreciated. It's definitely one to keep going back to and I enjoyed visiting it again for the purposes of this review. Always something new to learn👍
Great book review Richard. I’ve been a major fan of Prof Steve Peter’s for a few years now. His books and workshops have massively helped me understand how I and others tick 👍
Thanks for this- unfortunately I didn't get to hear him live as a speaker in all my events over the years. Guess it's a bit late for that now that I have jumped off the treadmill😂 He's a pretty inspirational bloke👍
Thanks for recording this Richard its an excellent summary and really helpful. I am a fan of his work and he has written other books which are equally interesting and also offer very practical steps to improve mental wellbeing. As an early retiree and a VW camper owner, my wife and I love your channel.
Thanks for your kind words Des. Someone else mentioned in the comments his new works- they are on the list and I am keen to read more on his thinking. Glad that you are enjoying the channel and we all have so much in common. Have a great weekend, and thanks again👍
Thanks Ron...no matter how technology moves on, this part of the brain is going to stay with us. It explains a lot in modern society and strangely brings some comfort when looking at how some people choose to act. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day👍
I went on loads of courses in my previous career and loads of people kept mentioning it. I eventually bought and read it. It makes so much sense and I still refer back to it when situations happen. It just sits there in my subconscious mind!
So true- it almost needs to be kept behind glass with a "break in case of emergencies" label😂 It's strange how we all have these books that we keep coming back to. I do feel that this one is a timeless one that always offers more support and guidance upon re-reading. Thanks for the comment Gerard. 🙏
Many thanks for this. If there is anything that I can do to reduce the effect of my inner critic or the negative self talk, I'm up for that. It's a lifetime of work😬...but I am slowly getting there👍 Have a great day🙏
Thanks for another fantastic and informative video Richard. What I took from this was to build on my daily morning and evening journaling by adding in a weekly review and reflection and what I can take into the coming days and weeks.
Thanks Steve. I think that the review of the week and looking ahead to the new week is an area that is often neglected in daily journaling. It's amazing what I have forgotten at the end of the week when I look back over my daily thoughts. Glad you enjoyed the video. Have a great day👍
Fabulous review. And a great outlook. I am recently implementing The 5am Club into my life...and like you. I like to be up early, and that quiet time in the morning can be so rewarding in many ways Looking forward to the next video. I am loving this channel Thankyou both...for bringing Joy. 😊
Morning Mags- ironically I am sat here typing this at 0530😂 I love my mornings to myself- they are so quiet and peaceful. Glad that you are enjoying the channel- we are enjoying doing it. It is so great to know that there are so many positive and like minded people out there. Thanks again. Have a great weekend👍
Thank you for this book review and recommendation. I bought it on Kindle this morning and I am loving it! I think it will be really helpful in understanding myself. Plus I can already think of several others that would benefit and enjoy it.
Thanks for your kind words Nicki- always appreciated. One of the reasons we started this channel was to pay things forward and hopefully help others. It's great when you read a book and think ".......would love this book". I am a bit of a geek for passing books onto people- the feeling it invokes is so lovely. Have a great weekend👍
Richard his new book is also excellent 'A Path through the Jungle' and his interview on the Pod Cast Diary of a CEO is also really brilliant watching. I am a big fan and listen to both books often when I am walking for fitness. Great Vlog
Thanks for this Gary...I'm on to it! Didn't realise he had anything new out- so exciting! When you find a writer that resonates, I like to deep dive into everything they produce. I will also check out the podcast as I love a good listen to smart people👍 Thanks again. 🙏
I am the same the Diary of a CEO is by far the best POD cast out there. Also (I think I have recommended before) but take a look at a book called the Power of Now it is my all time favourite - Author is Eckhart Tolle. Have a great weekend
Hi Richard, I first heard about this years ago whilst driving to work. It was on the Chris Evans radio show. I'm also a fan of Guy Martin, who in his books, refers to the chimp as "Steve". Giving it a name I suppose makes it more personal. But I always refer to Steve the chimp when I come across what I think is irrational behaviour, which could include saying things you don't actually mean (fortunately, not me), it's just an impulsive reaction to something you feel you can't control.
Very nice video on the topic! Evolutionary psychology is interesting indeed! If you haven't read it, I can also recommend "The Compassionate Mind" by another British psychologist. Also based on the understanding of how our mind has developed during evolution but in the context of how we can use that to better understand and be compassionate both towards our own faults and sufferings, as well as others. Probably one of the most influential books I have read so far.
Thanks for this Bjorn- I am absolutely up for book recommendations as this sounds a really good one for me. That inner voice we all have is a tough one to understand at times. Anything that helps me understand better is good by me. Thanks again. 🙏
@@earlyretirementwanderlust You are welcome! I guess you might have read Sapiens as well? Not so much self development but a great (if simplified) overview of the human development from this point of view. I'm 45 and left work, perhaps for good, 3 years ago. The FIRE movement has obviously been a big interest of mine but stumbled upon your channel just recently. I find your summaries of experiences and reflections on early retirement both very helpful and very down to earth. Thank you both!
Yep Ian- absolutely! Not only does it help us explain why some young people choose the behaviours that they do, it also helps them understand their emotional responses and gives a common language that we can all use in schools to discuss these things without the need for anyone to feel that it is directed at them. It really depersonalises the discussion which makes it much more effect. Plus it is a valuable life skill that we need to learn...it just took me until my 40's to find it😂 Thanks for the question👍
Thanks for the review Richard. It is on my bookshelf, iv yet to read it- my partner has. I am currently reading robin sharma- the wealth money can’t buy. Which is a really good read- highly recommend. 😊
Thanks for this tip Clare- my first foray into self help writings came via Robin Sharma...the monk who sold his Ferrari and the associated additional volumes. I will need to revisit his work, because you have reminded me how much I loved his thinking. Have you heard some of his podcasts? He speaks how he writes- really calm and deeply inspirational if you like his stuff. Have a great day👍
@@earlyretirementwanderlust yeah I had read the monk who sold his Ferrari, and the 5am club.. I have heard some of his podcasts. Rangan chattergee does amazing podcasts, he has had Robin on a few times. Have a great day. ☺️
Thanks Rich. Always good to be reminded of the need for self compassion. The ' Be Perfect ' drive is strong in so many of us which matches beautifully with the 'beat yourself up' drive!
We both read this book many years ago. It's been good to re-visit the methods raised in the book. Thank You

Great review of the book Richard, so it's the Chimp making you eat crisps and that's my excuse too😂🐒
Great video Richard. It always amazes me how primitive our brains are compared to how advanced we are as a society and technologically!
Thanks Ron...no matter how technology moves on, this part of the brain is going to stay with us. It explains a lot in modern society and strangely brings some comfort when looking at how some people choose to act.
Thanks for the comment. Have a great day👍

This is a great video. That technique is such a good way of reducing shame and self-blame, whilst offering a path towards better emotional responses.
Many thanks for this. If there is anything that I can do to reduce the effect of my inner critic or the negative self talk, I'm up for that. It's a lifetime of work😬...but I am slowly getting there👍

Glad you enjoyed the video. Have a great day👍
I read this book years ago and enjoyed it, but I have forgotten most of it now! Thanks for the prompt to re-read it 😃
It's an oldie...but a goodie👍
Glad you enjoyed the prompt🙏

Thanks for this Kevin- I love Steve! I am going to do some thinking about what I am going to name my chimp now- inspirational.
Thanks for sharing!👍

Would you strongly recommend for those in teaching ?
