De: Melanie Greenberg PhD

Narrado por: Coleen Marlo

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 listeners 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.

Inspiring but needs pdf’s

I really like all the tools and mindfullness skills she refers to. But without pdf’s it’s hard to memorize or keep up with it all.
Very uplifting and helpful with the tools I could remember.

Great informative book

This book gives an absolutely great insight into how stress affects your brain. As a psychologist I found it an excellent resource for patients dealing with stress. It’s packed with up to date research translated into useful information.
Thank you Dr. Greenberg for putting all this great information together.

Does not include PDF of self-evaluation quizzes

This book approaches stress scientifically, explaining how stress affects different parts of your body and gives tips for evaluating your stress. Starting in chapter two there are self-assessment quizzes, which would be useful to have in PDF format -- as is you'd either need to have amazing instant recall or to transcribe the quiz to paper.
Just know the Kindle or paper format is likely how this book was intended to be consumed -- the conversion to Audible is simply a straight Audio conversion

Stress and the hard wired response

Overall this book was an amalgamation of science and philosophy. Mindfulness plays a big role in the recommendations. If the reader has been exposed to this topic before, there is not much that is new or unique in this audiobook.

the beginning of each sentence is cut of. so it is very difficult to follow

Good information and nice narration.

I enjoyed this information and the overall presentation. The summary after each chapter along with the practical examples to incorporate into your life are worth exploring.

Intuitive book...when it is on track

Slow book that only becomes worthwhile beginning in Chapter 4.
