StressLess Book

Experiencing stress is a normal part of being human, but in our increasingly complex and fast-paced world, our stress levels can interfere with our enjoyment of life. Stress expresses itself in numerous ways, physically, mentally and emotionally, including through worry, anxiety, lack of focus and energy, sleeplessness, muscle tension, irritation and anger. What many might not know is that in large doses, ongoing stress is considered to be a contributing factor to instances of cancer, heart disease and stroke.

Clinical psychologist Dr Michael Player and bestselling author–illustrator Matthew Johnstone have learnt how to successfully manage stress in their own lives and have taught clients, readers and audiences everywhere to do the same.

Their book, StressLess, is a highly practical guide to help you recognise stress in your day-to-day life and apply techniques to manage symptoms.

You will learn how to:

• Recognise the thinking patterns that lead to stress
• Physically relax using breathing, stretching and muscle relaxation
• Meditate and practise mindfulness
• Do more with your time
• Problem solve
• Improve your physical health
• Nurture relationships
• Be your best self

Fully illustrated, easy to follow, and based on the latest medical science, StressLess is your go-to guide to identify and reduce your own levels of stress, and help others to do the same.
