THE MYTH OF STRESS :  WHERE STRESS REALLY COMES FROM AND HOW TO LIVE A HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER LIFE BY ANDREW BERNSTEIN Where does stress come from?  Financial pressures? Looming deadlines? Conflicts at work or at home? For more than half a century, we've been told that stress comes from circumstances like these, that it's a by-product of our ancestors' fight-or-flight response to danger, and that the best we can do, given the fast pace of life today, is to breathe, try to relax, and accept that life is hard. All of this, according to Andrew Bernstein, is wrong. Spurred by the death of several family members when he was young, Bernstein began a quest to understand the real dynamics of stress and resilience. He eventually realized that stress doesn't come from your circumstances--it comes from  your thoughts about  your circumstances. More specifically, stress is created by a particular kind of thought that humans happen to excel at. Seeing this, Bernstein realized tha...

LOVING WHAT IS : FOUR QUESTIONS THAT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE BY BYRON KATIE AND STEPHEN MICHELL In the midst of a normal life, Katie became increasingly depressed, and over a ten-year period sank further into rage, despair, and thoughts of suicide.

At that point, we can truly love what is, just as it is. Loving What Is  will show you step-...
