From world-renowned psychologist and New York Times –bestselling author Dr. Elissa Epel, a simple yet powerful plan to turn your stress into your strength in just seven days
We can’t avoid stress. But we can embrace it and transform it.
Stress is the ocean we swim in, whether we’re facing deadlines, difficulties with family or friends, personal crises, or just the uncertainty of the world. Even our negative thoughts can trigger our body’s stress response, so we rarely experience periods of ease and deep restoration.
In The Stress Prescription, Dr. Epel distills decades of research, infused with wisdom, into a practical yet transformative seven-day plan of science-based techniques that can help you harness stress through more positive challenge and purpose.
The seven-day prescription will lead you through these.
Day 1: Things Will Go Wrong . . . And That’s All Right
Day 2: Control What You Can . . . And Put Down the Rest
Day 3: Be the Lion
Day 4: Train for Resilience
Day 5: Let Nature Do the Work
Day 6: Don’t Just Relax... Restore
Day 7: Start Full, End Full
Dr. Epel shows us how we can “stress better”—by training our minds and bodies to shift towards a flexible, beneficial stress response that can enhance health. You will develop a more robust mindset, build the resources to turn stress into strength, and fill your days with more joy, connection, and ease. The Stress Prescription offers actionable strategies for anyone feeling overwhelmed. Dr. Epel's approach is not about eliminating stress – an impossible feat – but about fundamentally changing our relationship with it. You'll learn to recognize your triggers, reframe your perspective, and build practices that bolster your resilience in the face of adversity.
Forget the quick-fix solutions that promise instant calm. This is about long-term transformation. It’s about understanding the science of stress and empowering yourself with the tools to not just survive, but thrive, in a world that’s constantly throwing curveballs. Each day of the prescription is designed to build upon the previous one, creating a cumulative effect that will leave you feeling more grounded, capable, and in control.
Imagine facing that looming deadline with a sense of challenge instead of dread. Envision navigating a difficult conversation with calm and clarity, rather than defensiveness and anxiety. Picture yourself feeling deeply connected to the present moment, finding joy in the simple things, despite the chaos swirling around you. This isn't wishful thinking; it's the potential unlocked by learning to "stress better."
The Stress Prescription is your roadmap to a more resilient, fulfilling life, one day at a time. Start your seven-day journey and discover how to transform your stress into your greatest strength.
