Following on from the success of his first book Understanding Me Understanding You, in this book Manoj Krishna tackles the subject of stress.

If you feel stressed, you are not alone. 70-80% of people report being moderately or severely stressed. Long term stress can impact our physical and mental health, and stops us from being happy and at peace with ourselves. We assume that all our stress is caused by external events, and nothing can be done.

This book challenges that assumption and explores many ways we can avoid stress in the first place, and overcome it more easily when it does occur.

Stress is just a reaction from our thinking, and the difference between how things are and how we want them to be. To get over stress we can either change the event, or our reaction to it. To do that we need to explore where our reactions come from, and for that we need to journey inwards, to understand ourselves and how our minds work. This deeper understanding of ourselves helps us access our own wisdom, which enables us to meet life's challenges with calm. Our time on earth is limited. Living with this wisdom allows us to make the most of it, and live with much less stress, so we can lead happier and healthier lives.
