For a first time self help book on this subject matter I quite enjoyed it.
It had some valuable sensible information on helping us process things for ourselves.
In some parts I could identify myself quite visibly which was scary!
I don’t tend to worry about the future i more try to plan for different equations in the future as to several things that might happen.
But that’s the realistic important things.
It’s controlling situations.
If I’m reliant on others and have to wait for important things that help or will change my life for the good, that’s the hardest for me. When my future is in someone else’s hands.
Had some good tips I could mull over.
Not earthbreaking, but hints to put into practice.

I enjoyed the straightforward, "no bullshit" approach to managing stress based on 3 pillars of lifestyle, nutrition and fitness. This book provides several practical tips and exercises for managing stress anchored on a shift of mindset. The specific part dedicated to nutrition didn't resonate with me so much, but that's simply because I decided to adopt a slightly different approach here (and in the end there are many theories on this subject and each individual should be able to make up their own mind about what's right for them). Overall a useful book that I will keep for reference for future occasions.

This author comes off a bit sociopathic — like, denying his children sympathy for their woes and asking them to come up with a solution to their stressors, and repetitively denying the validity of stress at all. But! I must admit it's helped me reframe the way I view life's hardships. And! There were certainly some takeaways, so here are my notes:
• "The past has no direct value to the present, aside from the choice of whether to continue on this path or stop." - I don't completely agree with this but it's an interesting concept.
• Our internal image/ perception of ourselves guides how much we believe we can deal with
• Let your confidence grow from your core — who you want to be
• The only option is to let the stressor continue or to make action to address it
• What can I do to prevent this stressor from affecting me this way again?
• Negative emotions won't lead to a new outcome. Creating action will, though.
• Beware of using stress to garner attention; you can use stress-meditation to garner attention instead
• Building toward a persona; what kind of person do you want to be?
• Do you want pity, do you want to be a victim that bad?
• View stressors as challenges rather than threats
• See things as they are; their scale in seriousness; their full potential to be fixed/resolved
• Replace negative thoughts with three positive thoughts
• Tune into stress reactions in body
• Create a stress assessment that guides how you respond.

Not a ground breaking read but it does have some good suggestions for ways to relieve and cope with stressors. The book also explains the negative effects stress has on the body and your physical functions and not just your mind which was interesting. A good starting point for people wanting some tips on dealing with stress. #howtostressless #benjaminbonetti #goodreads #tea_sipping_bookworm

Didn't enjoy, felt a little too smug.

A very good book which, besides suggesting methods to beat and conquer stress, also tells about the links between what you feel physically and what the stressor is doing to your body functions.

This book is riddled with pseudoscience and unreferenced "facts".

Useful read. Many things mentioned in the book I can guarantee you already heard before, but as it adds to it, I'm not complaining.
I would recommend the audiobook over print version, tho.
