As individuals, we are all impacted by stress – but stress is also having devastating effects on the global economy through reduced productivity as well as the immense burden it places on healthcare systems. Decades of research reliably show that chronic stress severely compromises our physical and mental health, however it has recently emerged that it can also compromise our genetic integrity by destabilising our DNA. Not only does this promote many of the diseases that society is currently grappling with, it can potentially impact on future generations. Yet, stress has two faces: While ongoing stress has become one of the greatest global challenges the world has ever faced, short intervals of stress offer tremendous potential. The potential to grow, break personal barriers and excel. Many of our greatest accomplishments in life are realised in times of episodic stress. Turning the traditional stress paradigm on its head, this book is not one of avoidance, but rather one of resilience. Traditional fears surrounding stress as well as impractical attempts at evasion are replaced with the tools and skills to buffer the adverse effects as well as enhance our functionality and health. The Stress Code is a positive response to the global call for stress management solutions. Supported by extensive scientific research, this book offers comprehensive and structured insights as well as a repertoire of interventions that will allow you to thrive in adversity.
