In today’s world, stress has increasingly become a big part of our daily lives. And while we cannot always avoid it, there is something else we can do. We can start to understand why we react the way we do under stress, what is happening inside our body and our brain when we are stressed and, of course, what we can do about it. This book will offer you a very simple and yet comprehensive view of these neuroscience elements, and will propose a number of simple practices to help you manage your stress better. And, in the end, to help you not to only bounce back, but to actually bounce forward.

The informations are easy to understand and remember and useful to everyone who wants a starting point on the matter. Also the fact that the book includes suggestions on how we can build resilience is a plus for those who not only want to lear but also actively manage stress in their life or life or others
