"From world-renowned psychologist and New York Times-bestselling author Dr. Elissa Epel, a book that offers a simple yet powerful plan to turn your stress into your strength in just seven days. Our lives have become increasingly stressful. From the moment our eyes open in the morning to when they drift closed at night, we are flooded with constant stress triggers: to-do lists, deadlines, thorny conversations, crises both small and large. And unfortunately, we can't eliminate stress. Stress will always be a part of life-it's woven into everything from parenting to careers to reaching for big life dreams. These things are stressful because we care a lot about them. We can't just stop caring-nor do we want to. While we can't eliminate stress altogether, what we can change is our response to it. Dr. Elissa Epel has dedicated her career to studying stress. And what she's learned over years of research is that the secret to tackling stress is not simply to avoid it-it's to experience stress differently. We can actually learn "how to stress better." In The Stress Prescription, Dr. Epel distills years of research into a practical seven-day plan to help us fundamentally transform our relationship to stress. Over the course of seven days, you'll learn simple, science-based techniques that offer immediate action and relief. Stress is inevitable. But it doesn't have to make us miserable or wear us down. Stress doesn't come just from what happens to us but from our response to what happens. It's our thoughts more than our lives that stress us out. With the right mind-set and resources, we can turn our stress into a tool that helps us strengthen and grow"-- Provided by publisher.
