The Chimp Paradox
Prof. Steve Peters is the psychiatrist behind The Chimp Paradox - the mind-management model he used with Olympic cyclists, Ronnie O’Sullivan and Liverpool FC. His argument is simple: you are not one mind, you are sharing your head with a Chimp.
The Chimp is emotional, fast and five times stronger than you. It isn’t the enemy - it just gets to the phone first. Today we borrow Peters’ model and point it straight at our calls.
“Think of the last call where your Chimp got to the phone before you did. What did it make you say?”
