The author's ability to connect stress responses to everyday behaviors like people-pleasing and procrastination really created some ‘aha!’ moments for me. Her tools for boundary-setting and decision-making are very practical, and I’ve already started using them in my life. If you’ve ever struggled to put yourself first or trapped in bad habits, this book is a must-read."

Hill examines 10 aspects of stress and how they affect mental, physical, and emotional well-being. I like the client examples, whether they were someone I could identify with partially or fully. The science and experiential information was practical = useful in daily life.

I recommend this for therapists, clients, and those who have friends who are stressed out. Read it, absorb the info, and pass it on.
