Conquering Stress: Make It Fun!
Author: Dr. Douglas Kong
Publisher: Partridge Publishing Singapore
ISBN: 1543753884
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
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

The Upside of Stress
Author: Kelly McGonigal
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101982934
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Drawing from groundbreaking research, psychologist and award-winning teacher Kelly McGonigal, PhD, offers a surprising new view of stress—one that reveals the upside of stress, and shows us exactly how to capitalize on its benefits. You hear it all the time: stress causes heart disease; stress causes insomnia; stress is bad for you! But what if changing how you think about stress could make you happier, healthier, and better able to reach your goals? Combining exciting new research on resilience and mindset, Kelly McGonigal, PhD, proves that undergoing stress is not bad for you; it is undergoing stress while believing that stress is bad for you that makes it harmful. In fact, stress has many benefits, from giving us greater focus and energy, to strengthening our personal relationships. McGonigal shows readers how to cultivate a mindset that embraces stress, and activate the brain's natural ability to learn from challenging experiences. Both practical and life-changing, The Upside of Stress is not a guide to getting rid of stress, but a toolkit for getting better at it—by understanding, accepting, and leveraging it to your advantage.
