‘A masterful approach to rewire our brains and bodies from the inside out.’ – Arianna Huffington, Founder and CEO, Thrive Global

From Harvard stress management expert, Dr. Aditi Nerurkar, comes a revolutionary approach to overcoming stress and burnout using five small but powerful mindset shifts.

Stress has a bad reputation but in reality, it is a healthy biological phenomenon that helps us cope with life's many demands. It becomes problematic when it is not synchronized with the frequency of our lives, leading to burnout, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and many other physical symptoms. To return stress to healthy levels, Dr. Nerurkar offers the five scientifically-backed mindset shifts for tough times:

The First Reset: Clarifying What Matters Most
The Second Reset: Finding Calm in a Noisy World
The Third Reset: Synchronizing the Brain and Body
The Fourth Reset: Taking a Refresh
The Fifth Reset: Communicating Your Best Self

Dr. Nerurkar highlights why our daily efforts to be ‘resilient’ – like multitasking, getting less sleep, and drastic necessary lifestyle changes – are not beneficial for our stressed brains. Instead, she suggests practical, realistic solutions for modern-day pitfalls that are time-efficient, cost-free, and can be implemented in anyone's life. Key guidelines include the Rule of Resilience 2 (making no more than two changes at once, as more are not sustainable), acknowledging that multitasking is a myth (our brains are designed to do one thing at a time!), and adopting the Bookend Method (creating boundaries).

The five mindset shifts, along with fifteen proven techniques, offer a roadmap to change your relationship with stress, restore your biology to balance, and feel calmer already.
