Synopsis
Modern life throws a variety of stressful situations at us. This book aims to show stress in a different light - as a natural bodily reaction to help us through certain situations. Although our bodies produce the "fight or flight" reaction when subjected to stress, it often seems inappropriate - our increased heart and lung rate and the chemicals injected into system by the brain can cause illnesses such as asthma and diabetes. This text invites us to improve our brain-body connections in an approach to healthy living based on science. It aims to encourage us to use our natural abilities to cope with stress, rather than falling victim to it.

It is not so much the wealth of facts that have been brilliantly summarized in an often entertaining manner, but the concise and sharp conceptualization of the findings that show the reader how to improve both physical and mental health...enjoyable to read." - Nature magazine, on the hardback edition."
