We live in stressful times. Between our jobs and families, our days are filled with constant pressures and requirements. We struggle to get everything done and then when the day is over we start again tomorrow. Over time the negative impact of our hectic lives begins to affect our physical and emotional well-being. We soon exhibit symptoms such as stomach pain, headaches, heart failure and experience depression, chronic fatigue, mood swings. What, if anything, can we do to stop this endless cycle? It is easy to find the multitude of books, videotapes, meditation classes, and seminars all aimed at stopping stress. Until now, there has never been a scientifically-based program that not only starts working within seconds but also creates a foundation to help remove stress and the symptoms associated with it from your life for good.
At Stanford University, Drs. Luskin and Pelletier developed ten scientifically proven skills for eliminating the stress, anxiety and pain that occur all too frequently in daily life. These life skills offer much more than just the tools to break even, they provide a foundation for living a healthier and happier life. The ten strategies are immediately accessible and can start working in a matter of seconds. The book includes the scientific studies as well as actual stories that show these skills in action. This book combines the best of science and timeless wisdom to provide the last stresstool you will ever need.
