The Observing Mind.
Luckily, Addicted to the Monkey Mind offers another way to view the world.
When we think this way, we\'re viewing the world through our Monkey Minds, whose constant chattering continues our cycles of self-destructive behavior.
How many times a day do we blame others and outside circumstances for how we\'re feeling? The hairstylist who butchered our haircut, the spouse who isn\'t pulling their share, the job That consumes all our time, the alcohol That made us act like a fool last night -- the list is endless.
Most of us are caught in these endless, self-sabotaging cycles because we\'ve been taught That external factors determine our experience.
You\'ll learn why our thoughts are so erratic; why our emotions sometimes spiral out of control; why some days we feel great, but other days we\'re so anxious That we drink, use drugs, snap at our partners, sabotage our career, or feel so depressed That we can\'t get out of bed.
