Description:

Bibliography:
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"A toolkit of accessible, science-backed strategies that reveal that the path to a less
anxious
life, and even greater
productivity
, runs directly through
calm
. When Chris Bailey,
productivity
expert, discovered that he had become stressed and burnt out because he was pushing himself too hard, he realized that he had no right to be giving advice on
productivity
without learning when and
how
to rein things in and take a break.
Productivity
advice works -- and we need it now more than ever -- but it's just as important that we also develop our capacity for
calm
. By
finding
calm
and overcoming anxiety, we don't just feel more comfortable in our own skin, we invest in the missing piece that leads our efforts to become sustainable over time. We build a deeper, more expansive reservoir of energy to draw from throughout the day, and have greater mental resources at our disposal to not only do good work, but to also live a good life. Among the topics '
How
to
Calm
Your
Mind
' covers are
how
analog and digital worlds affect
calm
and anxiety in different ways;
how
our desire for dopamine, a neurotransmitter in our brain that leads us to feel overstimulated, breeds anxiety, dissatisfaction, and needless stress, but can be countered by other neurochemicals;
how
hidden sources of stress can be tamed by a 'stimulation fast'; and
how
'busyness' is as much a state of
mind
as it is an actual state of life. The pursuit of
calm
ultimately leads us to become more engaged, focused, and deliberate--while making us more productive and satisfied with our lives overall. In an
anxious
world, achieving
calm
is the best life hack around."--From publisher.
