“Stress Wisely is a road map for “hacking” your nervous system and using it more fruitfully. Implement its strategies to improve how you manage the day-to-day demands on your professional persona as well as the personal and family duties you come home to (or, if you’re a road warrior, manage remotely) after the day is done.” -Forbes

It’s time to make stress your ally, not your enemy.

Stress is inherent to the human condition. When not properly understood, stress can wreak havoc on our mental and physical health, relationships, and lives. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In Stress Wisely, award-winning psychology scholar and resiliency expert Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe explains how we can be strategic in stressful times by challenging everything we’ve been told about stress—and wielding its power in our favour.

With her signature honesty, humour, and relatability, Dr. Robyne draws on her vast research and real-world experiences in wellness, stress, and resiliency to help you navigate the chaos in the wisest way possible. Through smart strategies and awareness-raising exercises grounded in science and the Eight Realms of Wellness—physical, emotional, intellectual, social, environmental, occupational, financial, and spiritual—Dr. Robyne teaches you how to make stress your ally in every stage of your life.
