<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Originally published as <i>The Myth of Stress</i>, this revolutionary 7-step program will help change how you think about stress and show you how to easily transform and eliminate stressful thoughts from your personal and professional life.</b> <p/>Where does stress come from? Financial worries? Health issues? Conflicts at work or at home? For more than half a century, we've been told that stress is caused by outside pressures and that the best we can do is to breathe, try to relax, and accept that life is hard. <p/>According to Andrew Bernstein, this is all wrong. Spurred by the death of several family members when he was young, Bernstein began a quest to understand the real dynamics of stress and resilience, and discovered that stress doesn't come from your circumstances--it comes from <i>your thoughts about </i>your circumstances. Consequently, the true antidote to stress is <i>not </i>exercise or physical relaxation, but uncovering these stress-producing thoughts and dismantling them. Bernstein created a simple 7 step-process that helps you do this faster, often with life-changing results. <p/>In <i>Breaking the Stress Cycle</i>, Bernstein shares solutions for how to stop <i>managing</i> stress and break the cycle of ups and downs at its source. Guided worksheets and step-by-step coaching show you how to reframe your thinking on relationships, money, work-life balance, weight loss, discrimination, regret, grief, and more. <p/>With compassion, intelligence, and humor, <i>Breaking the Stress Cycle </i>offers a complete re-education in the nature of stress, and can permanently change the way you handle challenges in all areas of your life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This book is a masterful guide to rethinking the so-called stressors in your life.

Andrew Bernstein guides us through a way to untangle those thoughts and be free. Read this book and it will change your life and you will find your happiness will depend on only one thing - YOU." --Mark Hyman, MD, New York Times best-selling author of <i>The UltraMind Solution</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Andrew Bernstein is the founder of the Resilience Academy and creator of ActivInsight.
