From Distress to De-stress  (English, Paperback, Patwardhan Milind Hari Dr)

What is stress? Why do we feel stressed? Can we voluntarily relax our own body and mind? Can we do anything to soothe our soul? What is the stress response system? What is the Autogenic training for reducing anxiety? What exactly is meditation? How can a beginner begin a basic meditation practice? What is Mindfulness? What is the Polyvagal theory? What is CBT? If you need the simplified answers to any or all of these questions, you are at the right place. With his more than 30 years of experience as an endocrinologist, Dr Patwardhan realized how stress is one of the most important factors causing a plethora of diseases such as Diabetes, Metabolic syndrome, Ischaemic heart disease etc, and at the same time he became aware of the ignorance and lack of knowledge about the same. Since then, through various platforms, he has been trying to bring awareness amongst the general population regarding their own health and stress management. This book is one such endeavour. "This is a book to understand chronic stress in your life and what you can do to reduce its side-effects on your mind and body"
