77 percent of the population periodically suffers from significant stress.
Chronic stress can take a serious toll on both mental and physical health—leading to anxiety, depression, weight gain, and disease.

Stress is, unfortunately, a natural part of life—especially in our busy and hectic modern times. In this breakthrough book, a clinical psychologist and neuroscience expert offers an original and comprehensive approach to help readers harness the power of positive emotions and overcome stress for good.
The unique mindfulness exercises in this book provide a recipe for resilience, empowering readers to master their emotional response to stress, overcome negative thinking, and create a more tolerant, stress-proof brain.

Studies show that the key to coping with stress is simpler than we think—it's all about how we respond to the situations and things that stress us out or threaten to overwhelm us. This book helps readers develop an original and effective program for mastering the emotional brain's response to stress by harnessing the
power of neuroplasticity. By creating a more stress-tolerant, resilient brain, readers can learn to shrug off the small stuff, deal with the big stuff, and live a happier, healthier life.
