Books Living Stress-Free: By Mastering the Real Causes of Stress by Improve My World
Living Stress-Free explains that stress is self-created through conditioned thinking and mental models. It offers methods, starting simple and becoming more intensive, to reverse stress by changing how we think, feel, and live. The book draws on psychological and philosophical insights to promote healthier relationships, work-life balance, and overall well-being.
Amazon‘Living Stress-Free explores and exposes the popular yet false myths and assumptions about the causes of stress and provides a totally different way of mastering this deadliest of diseases. The uncomfortable truth is that stress is entirely man-made and a product of our conditioned self-talk and ‘mental models’.
The good news is that, because we ourselves are the creators of the stress we experience, we can reverse the process by learning to think, feel, act and live in a very different and much healthier way.
Based on the wisdom of past and more recent top psychological and philosophical minds, Living Stress-Free not only reveals the real causes of stress but equally importantly, explains how to go about mastering it.
The book starts with relatively simple methods, and then goes on to ever deeper, more intensive, yet entirely adoptable and highly effective practices.
The result is that life can now be lived in a much happier, much healthier, stress-free manner, with immense benefits to relationships, work, work-life balance and the enjoyment of life.’
Understanding the real causes of stress
Finally, a book that tells it like it is. We aren't the weathermen in the world of stress: rather we are the recipients who, depending on the fore-cast, can determine to react in a positive or negative fashion. It's entirely up to us to decide how to respond to the experiences that befall us! Vernon Sankey's book underscores that while we may not be masters of our destiny per se, we are certainly in a position to determine how we respond to external events and, consequently, whether we live a stressful or stress-free life.
This book is a tremendous guide to understanding the real causes of stress and how to deal with them. The findings, based on considerable research, will surprise and fascinate you as well as provide you with novel as well as very practical advice. I've read it more than once and have already recommended it to several people. It's not what happens to us, it's how we react to what happens to us that makes the most difference. How to do that is the essence of this remarkable book.
I enjoyed Living Stress-Free
'I enjoyed Living Stress-Free very much and would strongly recommend it to anyone suffering from stress and anxiety. What I most liked is the way the reader is helped and encouraged to define their own "meaning in life. This requires them to clarify their expectations going forward and to take full responsibility for the choices they make. It gives them the autonomy which is essential if stress is to be mastered.
This comprehensive book, containing illustrative stories and quotes, looks at many aspects of stress and its medical implications. It takes the reader from relatively simple and punctual methods for dealing with stress to more complex, deeper and more lasting solutions. Following just some of them properly will result, without doubt, in a much calmer and happier life.
As a doctor I am more than happy to endorse this excellent book. I would also emphasise the vital importance of physical exercise. This too helps to reduce the detrimental effect that cortisone and adrenaline exert on the brain and, specifically, on the hypothalamus and the brainstem. It is a simple and effective way to make exes stress in the short term more manageable.'
Letting go in order to live a more joyful and serene life
What struck me most in Living Stress-Free is how it cuts through the myths about stress. Vernon shows that stress isn't so much about external pressures, it's about the illusions we hold like the need for control and our fear of change.
It's also about discovering the freedom that comes with letting go in order to live a more joyful and serene life. This well researched book will help people see how much of their own stress is self-imposed, and the wealth of practical insights and guidance shows how to find true peace.
