UNSTRESSED

Stress is a modern epidemic. This book examines the ways stress affects us on both a psychological and embodied level.

Stress affects both body and mind—leading to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, as well as physical illnesses. In this guide, a professor of kinesiology shows readers how embodying emotions such as
gratitude, compassion, empathy, and love can rewire the body's stress response and ignite a sense of calm and connection in the face of everyday stress. Readers will also discover practical skills and clinically proven strategies grounded in mindfulness, neurobiology, and positive psychology to cultivate a deep sense of strength and emotional resilience.
