Book excerpt: Dr. Murad has spent decades adding proof to his theory about preserving the body's youthful qualities from the inside out. Most recently, as he pored over the scientific data he'd collected on more than 4,000 patients in the past 10 years, he made a surprising discovery: by maintaining a happy, carefree attitude and the youthful levels of cellular hydration we had as a toddler, we can age in a healthy fashion that allows us to look and feel as young as possible. Overcoming chronic negativity and "cultural stress" (the unnecessary, man-made stress we put on ourselves in our attempt to live up to everyone's expectations that leaves us feeling isolated, anxious, and depressed) could be the most effective strategy in sustaining positive changes in overall wellness. People who lost the most weight, boosted their metabolism, improved their looks and skin health, and reported more energy, fewer issues with chronic conditions, and higher levels of happiness all shared one thing in common: lower cultural stress.In Conquering Cultural Stress, Dr. Murad shows you how to:* Say goodbye to emotional, stress-based overeating to shed pounds* Improve your mood and productivity* Lower your Living Age by as much as 10 years * Make small lifestyle changes that have a huge impact on aging and well-being* Prepare easy, delicious, stress-reducing mealsAnd best of all, by following his simple, practical, three-step plan, you can actually build youth back into your cells and function optimally--physically,emotionally, and spiritually.

Download or read book Managing Performance Stress written by David Pargman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-24 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 16 years, new theories and models have emerged in the stress and anxiety knowledge base regarding the unique forms associated with performance. Existing theories have been applied in creative and helpful ways to better explicate relationships between stress and anxiety with performance. Recently, more sophisticated statistical strategies have been applied to data collected with performers, and additional, safe and expedient strategies for managing stress and anxiety have surfaced. Despite these new advances, the field has been lacking an up-to-date and practical text for undergraduate and graduate students in performing or performance-mentoring programs. Managing Performance Stress examines psychological and psychophysiological models and theories that explain causes of anxiety and stress. An easy-to-use reference work for athletes, musicians, dancers and actors as well as those who devise and conduct their training programs, the book presents exercises, coaching devices, and strategies for conquering stress and anxiety. It is an invaluable resource for those who are performers, will be performers, or who are preparing to mentor, coach or teach performers. The principles enunciated in Managing Performance Stress apply equally to the musician holding an oboe and the athlete holding a baseball bat. The issues explored and the theories, principles, models, hypotheses discussed all bear upon and clarify arousal, stress and anxiety related to artistic and sport performance, irrespective of its kind.
Download or read book Conquering Stress Make It Fun written by Dr. Douglas Kong and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2019-09-20 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you’re in a quandary about which book to pick in the library or bookshop to read on ‘Stress’, this slim volume by Dr Douglas Kong has to be your choice. It begins with ‘Stress sucks!’ and ends with ‘Make stress fun for yourself!’ In between are chapters on neuroscience, nutrition, fitness, social support and of course psychotherapy which is the forte of the author. From his more than 40 years as a doctor, psychiatrist and psychotherapist, he enlivens this book with brief case studies of his vast experience. If you read between the lines, you will realise that his approach is person-centred and he advises on diet, food and exercise. Although trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy, Dr Kong is not dogmatic and advocates other techniques including cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness practice and Jacobson’s progressive muscle relaxation. In short his approach in stress management is personal and integrative – this is the psychotherapeutic zeitgeist of the 21st century. Because the 21st century is also the Asian century, in the next edition of ‘Conquering stress’ the author may wish to include more references from research in Asia. In understanding and coping with our stress, we may want to heed the advice of the 6th century Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu: Knowing others is wisdom, knowing the self is enlightenment. Kua Ee Heok Tan Geok Yin Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience, Senior Consultant Psychiatrist, Department of Psychological Medicine, National University of Singapore
