The Upside of Stress By Kelly McGonigal - Free Audiobook Summary and Review
The author of The Willpower Instinct delivers a controversial and groundbreaking new book that overturns long-held beliefs about stress.
More than 44 percent of Americans admit to losing sleep over stress. And while most of us do everything we can to reduce it, Stanford psychologist and best-selling author Kelly McGonigal, PhD, delivers a startling message: Stress isn't bad. In The Upside of Stress, McGonigal highlights new research indicating that stress can, in fact, make us stronger, smarter, and happier - if we learn how to embrace it.
The Upside of Stress is the first audiobook to bring together cutting-edge discoveries on the correlation between resilience - the human capacity for stress-related growth - and mind-set, the power of beliefs to shape reality. As she did in The Willpower Instinct, McGonigal combines science, stories, and exercises into an engaging and practical book that is both entertaining and life-changing, showing you:
How to cultivate a mind-set to embrace stress
How stress can provide focus and energy
How stress can help people connect and strengthen close relationships
Why your brain is built to learn from stress and how to increase its ability to learn from challenging experiences
McGonigal's TED talk on the subject has already received more than seven million views. Her message resonates with people who know they can't eliminate the stress in their lives and want to learn to take advantage of it. The Upside of Stress is not a guide to getting rid of stress but a guide to getting better at stress by understanding it, embracing it, and using it.
Another book that found me at the right time
If you feel that stress is having a negative impact on you then read this book. A number of events over the past few years have got me to the point where I felt that I couldn't cope with the stress anymore and it had begun to manifest itself in more significant physical symptoms than previously. This book changed the way I think about the events in my life and their impact, plus it helped me see that I am actually more resilient than I think I am. This is now in my list of very important books, inevitably I will forget some of what I've learned, I will read it again, probably a number of times.
