Publisher's summary

Modern life throws a variety of stressful situations at us. This book aims to show stress in a different light - as a natural bodily reaction to help us through certain situations. Although our bodies produce the "fight or flight" reaction when subjected to stress, it often seems inappropriate - our increased heart and lung rate and the chemicals injected into system by the brain can cause illnesses such as asthma and diabetes. This text invites us to improve our brain-body connections in an approach to healthy living based on science. It aims to encourage us to use our natural abilities to cope with stress, rather than falling victim to it.

The book is published by DANA Press.

Just excellent!

Everyone would do well to educate themselves and become the greatest advocate for their own health. This book will support and empower that journey. The subtle humor sprinkled here and there is appreciate too. Dr. McEwen has done an excellent job of presenting amazing research in an easily digestible way.
