In our hyper-connected, fast-paced modern world, we are continually confronted with threats and demands that trigger a cascade of unhealthy biological responses known as stress. In TheStress-Proof Brain, Melanie Greenberg not only provides readers with practical tools to identify their past and current stressors, she teaches them about behavioral and psychological practices, such as mindfulness meditation, that can short-circuit unhealthy biological responses to stressors and increase resilience. The book is packed with wisdom from decades of research on behavioral and neurological aspects of stress, but is written in an accessible and engaging style.
