The Myth of Stress by Andrew J Bernstein
Where does stress come from? For more than half a century, we've been told it comes from 'adverse external influences', that it's a by-product of our ancestors' fight-or-flight response, and that because life on earth has changed radically, stress is inevitable today. All of this, according to Andrew Bernstein, is wrong. In The Myth of Stress, he shows you exactly why it's wrong. He takes readers back to the 1930s, pointing out a fundamental error in how the stress concept was initially formulated, and how this mistaken formula has resulted in people relying on inefficient tools such as relaxation and positive thinking. Bernstein then reveals the truth about where stress comes from and introduces a 7-step process that transforms common challenges - including relationships, money, success, weight loss, heartbreak, uncertainty, interpersonal conflict and the loss of a loved one. The Myth of Stress offers a complete re-education in the nature of negative emotions, training readers in how to transform any issue - at home, at school, at work - in order to live happier, healthier lives.
Bernstein's volume is an outstanding guide to understanding the nature of stress and how to handle itThe book provides numerous insights and techniques for anyone experiencing stress - and who doesn't? Dr Aaron T Beck, founder of Cognitive Therapy Caroline Myss, author of Defy Gravity and Invisible Acts of Power 'Bernstein has created a wonderful, accessible how-to manual for regular people wanting to feel better. This WORKS!' The Myth of Stress is a compelling, compassionate book about our suffering when we fight reality and the transformation that is possible when we don't.
