Stress is always with us, but a raft of new studies indicates that
it has especial significance in today's world. With job and
economic uncertainty, and increasing pressure on time, many people

insecurity, alcohol and drug dependency, unhealthy working
practices, sleep deprivation, disrupted social and family life -
these are just some of the challenging psychological consequences.
This book looks at sources of stress, and how far these are
modifiable without people abandoning themselves or their integrity.

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER There are many challenges facing our
mental health. We are living in the middle of an anxiety epidemic,
depression is one of the most significant mental health issues of
our time, self-harm is endemic amongst school children and
technology and social media are insidiously and pervasively
invading our lives leading to toxic stress. In this book,
bestselling author and GP Dr Harry Barry reveals how you can unlock
your inner emotional resilience reserves, deal with the challenges
of life, and protect your mental health. He explores the key skills
needed to transform your emotional capacity and reach your full
potential. He covers: Personal skills teaching you how to deal with
self-acceptance, perfectionism, frustration, failure and success,
the physical symptoms of anxiety, procrastination, problem solving
and catastrophising. Social skills such as how to develop and
practice empathy, read social cues and how to deal with anxiety in
social and performance situations. Life skills such as how to deal
with the unfairness and discomfort of life, pragmatism and conflict
resolution, how to develop a work/life balance and what to do when
stress comes calling.
Do you remember the last time you worried needlessly? The next time
you start ruminating, pick up a pencil and follow these steps: (1)
Jot down what's on your mind. (2) List a few things that you can do
to address your worries. If the situation is truly out of your
control, it can be a relief just to acknowledge it. (3) Later, look
back your worries and evaluate them in hindsight. Each page has two
tear-off tabs so that you can "tag" the subject as "Worth My Worry"
or "NOT Worth My Worry." You'll be shocked to see how often things
aren't as worry-worthy as they seem. No Worries is also filled with
inspiring quotes and ideas about conquering worries, all set in a
bold and empowering design. The package is uplifting, giftable, and
holds the promise of lightening your load. Worrying comes naturally
to journaling as a topic, but this journal offers a way to redirect
your thinking and move on to a more positive place.
