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.
