    About this audiobook

    Modern times are stressful—and it’s killing us. Unfortunately, we can’t avoid the things that stress us out, but we can change how we respond to them. In this breakthrough book, a clinical psychologist and neuroscience expert offers an original approach to help readers harness the power of positive emotions and overcome stress for good.

    Stress is, unfortunately, a natural part of life—especially in our busy and hectic modern times. But you don’t have to let it get in the way of your health and happiness. Studies show that the key to coping with stress is simpler than you think—it’s all about how you respond to the situations and things that stress you out or threaten to overwhelm you.

    The Stress-Proof Brain offers powerful, comprehensive tools based in mindfulness, neuroscience, and positive psychology to help you put a stop to unhealthy responses to stress—such as avoidance, tunnel vision, negative thinking, self-criticism, fixed mindset, and fear. Instead, you’ll discover unique exercises that provide a recipe for resilience, empowering you to master your emotional responses, overcome negative thinking, and create a more tolerant, stress-proof brain.

    This book will help you develop an original and effective program for mastering your emotional brain’s response to stress by harnessing the power of neuroplasticity. By creating a more stress tolerant, resilient brain, you’ll learn to shrug off the small stuff, deal with the big stuff, and live a happier, healthier life.

    • 5/5
      Great book everyone should consider reading or listening. Sometimes we let stress eat us unaware until someone tells us how toxic it is for our minds, bodies and souls.
    • 5/5
      This audiobook (book) is full of useful insights on how to deal with stress. Stress is part of our life so the best way to deal with it is knowing how we can manage it at the personal level. This book discusses about mindfulness, self-compassion, how to focus on things we can control, and many more.
    • 5/5
      This book offers so much clarity on the subject of stress. I find myself re-reading (or listening to various chapters periodically). Plus the narrator's voice is so very pleasant and assertive when the content requires it. I find myself leaning in quite frequently. Superbly narrated and an excellent read/listen, I think.
