Unstressable

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

‘This might be the most useful book I’ve ever read . . . it’s so good!’ – Chris Evans

From the author of Scary Smart, Unstressable applies Mo Gawdat’s brilliant engineering mind and Alice Law’s stress-management expertise to the ‘stress pandemic’.

This follow-up to bestselling Solve For Happy will show you that chronic stress is not an unavoidable part of modern life, but a predictable – and therefore preventable – response, often as much to do with negative thought patterns as external circumstances. Mo explains how he made it through the most acutely stressful times in his own life, and the book touches on the idea of post-traumatic growth – both on a personal level and in response to huge events that affected all of us, such as the COVID pandemic and subsequent economic turmoil.

Practical exercises will help you build up the skills to manage stress no matter your circumstances, backed up by neuroscience and accessible psychology.

‘Everything he writes is an enlightening education in how to be human.’ – Elizabeth Day
