ebook

Mo Gawdat is an engineer. What most of us see as insurmountable problems he sees as systems overloads to tackle and solve. Unstressable breaks stress into inputs and effects, classifying human stressors as: stress to the mind, stress to emotions, stress to the body, and stress to the soul. Once classified, Gawdat and co-author Alice Law show readers how stress can be predicted—and once predicted, prevented.
Unstressable illuminates for readers how most of us deal with the unpleasant, anxiety-producing and even miserable or tragic events in our lives: stress is always a by-product, leading directly to inability to cope, health problems and cratered confidence. Gawdat and Law guide readers to both heart centred and science-based solutions. They'll train readers to:
—Develop habits and attitudes of listening and learning that limit stress
—Learn the language of de-stressing mind, emotions, body and soul
—Respond, not react
—Release self-criticism, insomnia, and lethargy
—Increase energy, focus and confidence
Unstressable is a handbook for those who understand that stress isn't what happens to you; it's how you handle what happens to you. It's a practical and rounded approach to an ever increasing modern day problem.

      Law, a stress and wellness expert and host of the podcast Unstressable, and Gawdat, an engineer, author (Solve for Happy), and former chief business officer of Google X, have written a guide to help readers understand how to navigate the health epidemic that is modern-day stress. The authors provide steps that readers can take to predict and prevent mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual stress. This book is structured around a model deemed "the three Ls"--limit, learn, and listen--and includes a "stress language course" to help readers understand different types of stress and how to become "unstressable." Using a combination of biology, chemistry, neuroscience, and personal experiences, Law and Gawdat provide a framework to help readers address stress in their day-to-day lives. VERDICT Will appeal to those looking to improve their relationship with stress and to fans of Law's podcast as well as readers of Gawdat's books and followers of his popular podcast, Slow Mo.--Britt Fechtman
