Stresshacking

Stresshacking simplifies the approach to dealing with stress, something all of us in the modern world likely struggle with. The book includes 50 strategies to coping with stressors that range from pimping your ride, navigating awkward conversations, and finding a work/life balance. I appreciated that each topic included a breakdown of the scenario, as well as specific steps that one can follow to implement that strategy themselves. I found myself longing for a bit more scientific inquiry or data to accompany each of these hacks, which I think would have made these arguments even stronger, and offered more compelling evidence for the reader. Regardless though, this book is a great resource for anyone looking to better manage stress in their daily life. * Netgalley *

"Stress is not our enemy; it's a sign that something needs attention." With these words, your new BFF Louise Lloyd lets you know that everything is going to be OK--if you don't ignore the stress you're feeling. The first several sections are devoted to triaging the current causes of stress and gaining control. Then Section 4 discusses mindfulness, followed by two more sections about self-discovery, and finally ending on creating the life you want. The author's tone is reassuring and her suggestions are practical: this is really a great read for pandemic times. * NetGalley *
