WINNER OF THE BOOKLIFE NONFICTION PRIZE
It's time to make stress your ally, not your enemy.
Stress is inherent to the human condition. When not properly understood, stress can wreak havoc on our mental and physical health, relationships, and lives. But it doesn't have to be that way. In Stress Wisely, award-winning psychology scholar and resiliency expert Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe explains how we can be strategic in stressful times by challenging everything we've been told about stress and wielding its power in our favour.
With her signature honesty, humour, and relatability, Dr. Robyne draws on her vast research and real-world experiences in wellness, stress, and resiliency to help you navigate the chaos in the wisest way possible. Through smart strategies and awareness-raising exercises grounded in science and the Eight Realms of Wellness—physical, emotional, intellectual, social, environmental, occupational, financial, and spiritual—Dr. Robyne teaches you how to make stress your ally in every stage of your life.
Now in a new trade paperback format!

About the Author
Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe is on a mission to make life's toughest challenges not just manageable but meaningful. She blends cutting-edge research with real-life wisdom to teach resiliency, stress navigation, and optimal performance--all with a dash of humour and a whole lot of hope and heart.
An award-winning behavioural educator, Dr. Robyne's debut book, Calm Within the Storm, earned the 2022 Silver Nautilus Award for Psychology/Mental & Emotional Well-Being. Her second book, Stress Wisely, won the 2023 Silver Award in Self-Help from the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards, the 2023 Bronze Award for Self-Help (Adult Nonfiction) by the Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards, and the Grand Prize in the Nonfiction Contest by the BookLife Prize.
Dr. Robyne's calling is bold and simple: to prove that hope is a strategy, resiliency is a skill, and better days are always within reach. She is a proud mom to teenagers Hunter, Ava Lesley, and Jaxson, and lives in Central Ontario with her husband Jeff.
