But we can embrace it and transform it. Whether we're facing deadlines, difficulties with family or friends, personal crises, or just the uncertainty of the world--stress is the ocean we swim in.

And Put Down the RestDay 3: Be the LionDay 4: Train for ResilienceDay 5: Let Nature Do the WorkDay 6: Don't Just Relax . . . RestoreDay 7: Start Full, End Full Dr. Epel shows us how we can "stress better"--by training our minds and bodies to shift towards a flexible, beneficial stress response that can actually enhance health. You will develop a more robust mindset, build the resources you need to turn stress into strength, and fill your days with more joy, connection, and ease.
