Seeing Dr Chatterjee on the tv makes him feel familiar to the audiences. He talks a lot of sense and comes across as very knowledgeable and caring. Reading this book makes you feel like you can hear him talking. I skim read some of it but the basics were very helpful, its a book I will refer back to.

Thank you Netgalley for the advance copy.

I find Chatterjee confusing. He is at once instantly likeable but completely irritating. I really hoped that this book would give good, clear instructions on how to deal with stress but it feels like a pamphlet that's been puffed out beyond what it can hold. Much of the information I'm already aware of and the rest of it is self-explanatory for a reader engaged with helping themselves feel better. Thank you for approving me for this book as it is very valuable for many people,

As someone who struggles with chronic stress and anxiety I was excited to read this book and found it really helpful. I learnt plenty of new coping tactics. A great writing style too, very conversational and accessible.

The author has appeared on the TV a number of times, I've enjoyed his programmes so was curious to see what he said. i thought this was a useful book for even those not suffering from stress as it helps you look at your own life in a different way to bring a difference to your well-being.

This book contains 4 main sections: Purpose, Relationships, Body and Mind. Each section then has 3 chapters of information, from case studies to ideas in how to improve. The Purpose section looks at 3 habits of calm, Scheduling your time and how to LIVE more. Relationship looks at Human Touch, Getting Intimate, Nurturing friendships, Body considers Eating, exercise and resetting your rhythm. Finally Mind looks at technology overload, bathe yourself in nature and taking time to breathe.

I certainly found this book useful, and can take away a few things to include in my day to day life.

I received this book from netgalley in return for a honest review.

I’m already a followe of Rangan Chattergee in social media and have read his first book so I was delighted to be given the opportunity to review this book. As expected, it didn’t disappoint. Chattergee writes well, equally sharing his knowledge and inspiring his reader to look at their life and what might need tweaking to live more fully,happily and healthily.
Like his first book, this one intudyces more pillars to cope with what he terms ‘stress superhighways’, these are Purpose, Relationships, Body and Mind. Without a doubt these will be useful to any reader. The first pillar really struck a chord with me as it’s not something that would first come to mind when trying to manage stress. I thoroughly recommend this book, I will be buying a paper version as my only criticism is that my digital review copy did not allow me to skip back and forth to page numbers,whereas this would be easy to do with a paperback/hardback. Nonetheless, I’m grateful to Netgalley and Penguin Books for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review. Grab yourself a copy, you won’t regret it’s

Prior to reading this book, I was vaguely aware of the harmful effects of stress without fully ever having been able to understand the full cause and effect. This is an inspiring and insightful read which rectified this gap in my understanding. From the opening chapters which explain the science of stress and the myriad ways it has a negative impact on our physical and mental health, Dr Chattergee’s style is both accessible and unpatronising - explaining potentially complicated biological information in easy to understand ‘layman’s’ terms. Later sections of the book outline a range of case studies combined with tips for managing stress. This will resonate with anybody with a hectic lifestyle or those looking to restore a sense of balance to their daily routine. Chapter foci provide information about: digital detoxing, meditation techniques, mindfulness, affirmations, all aimed at reconnecting us with a simpler yet more meaningful way of living. Everything highlighted is eminently achievable and couched in common sense so it never feels ‘preachy’ or unobtainable. It was so thought-provoking in helpIng me to reappraise my time management. Having digested this book from ‘cover’ to ‘cover’ I have already made small but vital adjustments to my day which are already yielding benefits. I unreservedly recommend this book as a thoroughly enjoyable, yet simultaneously thought-provoking and elucidating guide to navigating life and the inherent stresses of the digital 21st century.

Divided into four main areas, this book focuses on stress and how it affects your purpose, relationships, body and mind and how to get stress under control. It’s very clear and well written and certainly a book I would dip back into when I want to restore calm back in my life.

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.
