About this episode

Renowned psychiatrist and best-selling author of ‘The Chimp Paradox’, Prof. Steve Peters, joins Jake and Damian for an in-depth conversation on unlocking human potential. With a background in helping elite performers in sports, business, and more, Steve shares his expertise on how the mind works and how to make the most of it. 


In this episode, he dives into how we can identify and align with our core values while tackling common challenges we face in daily life. From self-esteem struggles to understanding the ""chimp system"" in our brains, he breaks down the mental hurdles that hold us back and offers actionable insights to help move forward.


Steve also discusses the impact of social media on self-worth, the importance of resilience, and why shifting our mindset matters. He explains how childhood habits are formed, the role parents play in shaping these patterns, and whether it's possible to reverse some of the patterns formed early in life.

 

This episode offers a powerful exploration of how we can hack our brains to perform at our best, develop resilience, and embrace a healthier perspective on life.
