Replay: The Chimp Paradox

In this special replay episode — the top 3 most downloaded of all time — I’m again joined by Stuart McGuire as we explore The Chimp Paradox by Professor Steve Peters. This book provides a simple yet powerful model for understanding how our brain works — and how it often works against us if we’re not aware of it. Whether in meetings, under pressure, or dealing with self-doubt, understanding your inner “chimp” can help you manage emotions, lead with clarity, and avoid the traps that keep so many statisticians and scientists stuck. This episode remains a favorite because it strikes at the core of how we think, react, and lead — especially in high-stakes scientific and business environments.
