Por que tantas vezes sentimos que estamos nos sabotando, agimos de forma irracional ou nos deixamos levar pela emoção? E por que em geral, quando isso acontece, a sensação é de que não estamos no controle do nosso cérebro? A resposta é: porque de fato não estamos.

Embora sejamos dotados de um cérebro humano, lógico, que pondera antes de cada decisão, também temos um cérebro primitivo, animal, que age independentemente de nós, que está preocupado apenas com a nossa sobrevivência e que reage às situações sempre de maneira emocional. Esse cérebro é o Chimpanzé. Ele não é bom nem mau – é só um Chimpanzé.

Em O paradoxo do Chimpanzé o psiquiatra, consultor e professor Steve Peters apresenta um programa de gerenciamento mental que nos permite entender e gerenciar nosso cérebro emocional, de modo a tirar proveito de sua força quando ele trabalha a nosso favor e a neutralizá-lo quando não faz. Por meio de exemplos claros, diagramas e desenhos lúdicos e exercícios práticos, somos levados a conhecer o funcionamento de cada parte de nossa mente e a desenvolver as habilidades emocionais e os hábitos que permitirão alcançar uma vida mais feliz e bem-sucedida.

  1. O Chimpanzé trabalha não necessariamente com fatos, mas com o que acredita ser verdade, com uma percepção da verdade ou, o que é ainda pior, com uma projeção do que seria a verdade.

  2. Existem literalmente dois seres na sua cabeça! É importante entender que apenas um deles é você, o Humano.
    Highlighted by 77 Kindle readers
  3. Parte do problema é que a maioria das pessoas não percebe que o Chimpanzé meramente faz uma oferta, não dá uma ordem. Você não tem que seguir suas emoções. Você tem escolha.

No início parece interessante a forma de abordar as nuances da mente e como lidar com ela, porém a profundidade começa a se perder com tantas formas de tentar lhe dar tudo sem um movimento devidamente prático e pormenorizado. Senti fragilidade quanto a manter-se em leitura.
