Modern times are stressful and it is killing us. Unfortunately, we cannot 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 do not 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 thinkโ€”it is 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 will 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 programme for mastering your emotional brain's response to stress by harnessing the power of neuroplasticity. By creating a more stress-tolerant, resilient brain, you will learn to shrug off the small stuff, deal with the big stuff, and live a happier, healthier life.
