I ordered this book as a reset for some stress I've been experiencing. I found the author to be engaging while being extremely knowledgable. The writing style was not too heavy in the science but everything she says has a reference in the back of the book! I especially liked all of the guided "activities" at the end of each day/chapter, they were easy to follow and DANG they made a big difference in my life and how I view my stress. This short book can make a huge impact on you, it is definitely worth your time. I even bought one as a gift for a friend!

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to prevent burnout and overcome the burdens of stress.With each page, you'll uncover valuable insights that will revolutionize your perspective on stress management. Dr. Epel's guidance will equip you with the tools to face uncertainty head-on, transform threats into exciting challenges, and regain control over your life. Good book of intelligent scientists with a lot of experience and studies of stress. It book a lot of philosophy of stress, mostly from stoicism, Buddhism and a lot of practical physiological advices.
