Overview
Bring Professor Steve Peters' celebrated Chimp Management model into every corner of family life with this three-book collection. The Chimp Paradox introduces adults to the inner conflict between the rational Human and the emotional Chimp, offering practical steps toward confidence and calm. My Hidden Chimp translates the same neuroscience for children, using friendly language and activities that help kids understand habits and emotions. The Silent Guides shows parents, carers, and teachers how to reinforce those lessons through ten positive habits. Together the set builds a shared vocabulary for managing stress, building resilience, and supporting emotional wellbeing at any age.
About the Books
This collection gathers three complementary works from Professor Steve Peters, a psychiatrist known for translating brain science into everyday, usable habits. The Chimp Paradox is the original adult title, explaining how the emotional "Chimp" part of the brain can hijack decisions, and offering a structured model for recognizing triggers, managing impulses, and steering behavior toward greater happiness, confidence, and health. It has become a widely recommended read in sport, business, and personal development circles for its clear, practical approach to managing stress and self-doubt. My Hidden Chimp takes the same Chimp Model and reshapes it for children, using simple language, illustrations, and exercises that invite kids to notice their feelings, understand why habits form, and choose calmer responses with support from a parent or caregiver. The Silent Guides completes the trio, written directly for the adults raising and teaching those children. It sets out ten positive habits and practical language patterns that quietly shape a child's self-belief, resilience, and emotional security over time. Read individually or together, the three books create a consistent thread of mind-management language that can be used at home, in the classroom, or on the sports field. Parents often start with The Chimp Paradox for themselves before introducing My Hidden Chimp and The Silent Guides to support their children, making this set a natural, ready-made starting point for families who want one coherent approach to emotional wellbeing rather than three disconnected self-help books.
