About this ebook

Stress has been with us since the dawn of humanity, but the way we experience and respond to it has changed dramatically. Evolution of Stress: A Journey Through Human Stress and the Art of Mastering It takes readers on a fascinating exploration of stress across history, from the survival instincts of our hunter-gatherer ancestors to the modern-day pressure of deadlines, emails and constant connectivity.


Blending history, neuroscience, psychology and practical wisdom, this book reveals how stress evolved as a life-saving response and how to use that same response to thrive rather than just survive. 


You’ll learn:


How ancient stress shaped the human brain and body.

What neuroscience and psychology reveal about chronic stress today.

Evidence-based techniques to master modern stress — including breathing, sleep optimisation, nutrition, and movement.

How music, community, and connection act as powerful antidotes to anxiety and burnout.


This is more than a guide to managing stress. It’s a roadmap to transforming stress into strength, resilience and confidence.
