"A wonderful, accessible how-to manual for regular people wanting to feel better" (Kathleen DesMaisons, PhD, author of Potatoes Not Prozac), The Myth of Stress is the revolutionary guide to effectively and naturally reduce stress in all areas of life. With seismic shifts in the global economy and a world health crisis affecting how we work, travel, and live, stress has become a common aspect of everyday life. Yet, nearly every available stress-reduction plan is based on a misconception--that stress is triggered by our circumstances. Research has shown that outside stressors do not actually trigger the physical and emotional reactions related to stress. In other words, stress comes from your thoughts about your circumstances. More specifically, stress is created by a particular kind of thinking that humans happen to excel at. Using a program developed by Andrew Bernstein called ActivInsight you will discover how to change these patterns of thinking. Effectively used by major corporations, The Myth of Stress reveals a simple seven step guide that can help you through some of the most challenging experiences of modern life in a matter of minutes. "A compelling, compassionate book" (Geneen Roth, author of Women Food and God), The Myth of Stress will permanently alter the way you relate to challenges--at school, at work, and at home--in order to live a happier and healthier life.
"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. I loved it. " --Geneen Roth, author of When Food Is Love and Women, Food, and God "An easy-to-learn method for addressing issues underlying stress. " --Library Journal "Andrew Bernstein has brought some much needed common sense to the subject of stress and that alone makes this book a winner. " --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. " --Kathleen DesMaisons, Ph. D. , author of Potatoes Not Prozac "Bernstein' s volume is an outstanding guide to understanding the nature of stress and how to handle it. The book provides numerous insights and techniques for anyone experiencing stress--and who doesn' t? " --Aaron T. Beck, M. D. , founder of Cognitive Therapy "Look out Anthony Robbins, move over Deepak Chopra, there' s a quiet storm moving up through this state and beyond. His name is Andrew Bernstein. . . He' s an intelligent, calm, and soft-spoken person who uses reason and logic to quiet the mind. " --Vision Magazine "We often think we have to avoid or reduce stress. The Myth of Stress teaches you not to "manage stress" but to root out the very causes of stress, the tangled thinking that keeps you stuck in the belief the world has to change for you to be happy. Andrew Bernstein guides us through a way to untangle those thoughts and be free. Read this book and it will change your life and you will find your happiness will depend on only one thing - YOU. " --Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times best-selling author of The UltraMind Solution
