The Upside of Stress
In comparison to the other books on this list, The Upside of Stress takes a slightly different approach to stress management. More than 44% of Americans admit to losing sleep due to stress. And, while most of you try to avoid it, Stanford psychologist and bestselling author Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D., has a startling message: Stress isn't all bad.
Using fascinating new research on resilience and mindset, McGonigal explains that stress is not harmful in and of itself; it is experiencing stress while believing that stress is harmful that is harmful.
This book covers topics like:
- How to Develop a Stress-Tolerant Mindset
- How stress can help you focus and be more energetic
- How stress can help people connect and strengthen their bonds
- Why your brain is designed to learn from stress, and how to improve your brain's ability to learn from difficult experiences
Overall, this book is not a guide to overcoming stress, but rather a toolkit for becoming more adept at it - by understanding, accepting, and utilizing stress to your advantage.
