From a GLAS Method perspective, the book begins with Emotions / Awareness. Peters’ “Chimp” model helps individuals externalise emotional reactions, creating psychological distance and reducing self-judgment. GLAS mirrors this by treating emotions as data rather than identity.
The work then reinforces Self Acceptance, Centredness, and Energy / Vitality. Accepting the presence of emotional reactions prevents internal conflict, while centring techniques regulate physiological and emotional states. Energy previously lost to emotional struggle is reclaimed for focus and action.
Finally, The Chimp Paradox aligns with Holding Focus, Directing Performance, and Simply Effective. When emotional noise is managed, attention stabilises, decision-making improves, and behaviour becomes consistent and aligned with goals. Performance improves without burnout.
