Addicted to the Monkey Mind: A Practical Self-Help Guide to Overcoming Self-Sabotage by Jean-Francois Benoist
About the Book
Addicted to the Monkey Mind is a self-help book that teaches readers how to stop the constant, self-critical chatter in their head and replace it with calm, clear thinking. Through the real-feeling stories of two characters, J.F. Benoist shows how our “Monkey Mind” keeps us stuck in cycles of blame, addiction, and self-sabotage, and how the “Observing Mind” can set us free.

Readers walk away with practical steps to shift from reactive thinking to a calmer, more observant way of responding to life's challenges.
