Review of 'The upside of stress' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Great book. Five stars because of its flawless execution and extraordinary usefulness. Highly recommended for anyone who may sometimes feel burdened or held back by stresss, anxieties, and all kinds of unconstructive, escapist and invariably self-sabotaging coping strategies that one may have developed. The mindset interventions offered here are liberating and empowering.
