Summary of J.F. Benoist's Addicted to the Monkey Mind

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 When the Monkey Mind is in charge, it uses your self-judgments to create dramatic storylines. Anxiety fuels this critical story, throwing plot twists and dramatic turns into the movie of your life. When you listen to the Monkey Mind, you may feel a variety of emotions such as anger, disappointment, sadness, shame, fear, and depression.

#2 The author's wife, Elizabeth, is a prime example of how life can become a bit part. She doesn't believe she's in charge of her own life, and she believes that life is happening to her.

#3 When Elizabeth arrived at the salon, she was greeted by her college friend Paula, who immediately started digging into her marriage and her husband’s supposed affair. With the Monkey Mind directing the movie, Elizabeth found herself in a war film full of drama and conflict.

#4 When it comes to dealing with a difficult situation, our Observing Mind can help us decide how to act. It can offer us clarity, empowerment, and peace. However, it can also lead us to make assumptions and jump to conclusions, which can lead to sadness and loneliness.
