This book is a great tool for anyone suffering from worry, stress, anxiety and depression. Recognizing that you are feeling down and need to improve the way you are living is the first step and this book can help you get to a happier place in your life.This book is very different from other stress management books I have read, it gets much deeper and helps you understand why our bodies respond to modern day stresses with an innate stress response. Understanding the evolution of stress has helped me deal with it in my everyday modern life, understanding that my body is reacting with a fight or flight mode that dates back to the cave man era. Learning to tame my fight or flight response has really helped me deal with everyday stresses in a whole new light.Not only does this book break down the mental side of worry and stress, it also gives you relaxation techniques for the physical side. Feelings of stress, anxiety, worry and depression can manifest into muscle aches, headaches and insomnia this book has great techniques to relieve the discomfort of dealing with these issues.This book also has a chapter on learning to deal with your anxiety and trust issues. The author explains that, learning to trust again starts with trusting yourself, others and the world. This section helped me a lot because I deal with social anxiety and learning to trust people will help me build the relationships in my life that I have been avoiding.I would recommend this book to anyone that is having difficulties with negative thoughts, depression, anxiety and stress. It has really helped me a lot and it can help you too.
