Summary:
"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"--From publisher.
