Resumen del Editor

Discover simple, science-based strategies for beating stress at its own game

When’s the best time to exercise - and how much is too much? Which foods fortify the brain, and which do the opposite? How can we use music, movement, and motivation to boost our rational brain and keep our cool no matter what life throws our way?

Short bursts of stress are an inevitable part of modern life. But how much is too much? Research is uncovering the delicate balance that can turn a brief stressful episode into systemic overload, eventually leading to inflammation, anxiety, depression, and other chronic health issues.

This practical and groundbreaking guide reveals seven paths to fighting the effects of stress - to strengthen our natural defenses so that our minds remain sharp, and our bodies resilient, no matter what life throws at us.

Each chapter examines a common stress agent - including inflammation, an out-of-sync body clock, cortisol levels, and emotional triggers - and presents simple ways to minimize its harmful effects with changes in diet, exercise, and other daily habits - including surprising hacks involving music, eye movements, body temperature, daily routine, and more. Translating cutting-edge scientific findings into clear and simple advice, Stress-Proof is the ultimate user’s guide for body, mind, and well-being.

Exceptional book, well done!!

Author did an excellent job of covering the subject of stress, a very important book and topic.

Love this book

Great book! I’m currently implementing some of the strategies suggested. So far it has been helpful

It was alright.

There is some great practical information in this book. There's also a WHOLE LOT of dietary information which is great if you want a WHOLE LOT of dietary information but that HUGE section could have been WAY SMALLER. I guess I just wanted the self development aspects over the self development via diet aspects. Performance was SUPER GREAT.

Simply the best book I have ever read on stress!

Mithu does a masterful job of talking about stress and easy solutions that can make an incredible difference in one's quality of life. A must read!

scientific analisis

worst audio book I've ever heard. up it wasn't helpful at all. almost painful to listen to.

Great book but audio is subpar

This book explains the stress mechanism and gives you a clear path to reduce stress by breaking down the components of stress. Beautifully organized. The audiobook however is read without emotion or understanding, mechanically reading the words, pausing at odd places so that you lose the context of what’s being read. The best audio books seem to be the ones where the person seems to be speaking to an audience. I wish this audiobook could be published again with better audio.

Great Book!

I got a lot out of this book. I am going to implement some of the advice to hopefully sleep better at night. Very interesting listen.

This is the best book I've ever read

I think this is the best book I've ever read. I normally don't write reviews, but I feel compelled to do this after finishing the book. This is so well written, and so well researched. There is so much amazing and helpful information here, I wish everyone would read it.
