The Silent Guides: Developing successful habits during childhood and adulthood

In The Secret Chimp, Professor Steve Peters explains in a simplified way the neuroscience of the mind and how some unhelpful and destructive behaviours can be inadvertently hard wired during childhood. This book will help adults understand how we can avoid pitfalls and better equip our children to be more resilient, successful and generally happier in life - in essence how from an early age they can learn to manage their inner or 'secret' Chimp. With the UK second to bottom in the world for mental wellbeing among young people, Steve, who is pre-eminent in his field and the international bestselling author of the acclaimed The Chimp Paradox, hopes to improve this by explaining aspects of the developing mind in children and offers carers of children some practical suggestions for helping children develop resilience.
