An excellent book on stress free living. I recommend this book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through Net Galley. I was not required to write a positive review. All of the opinions expressed are my own.

In This book, the author, Dr. Kiran Dintyala talks about how one can remain calm when faced with chaos around you. he talks about some principles, exercises and meditation techniques to be followed to stay calm under such situation.

There are seven parts of the book covering various aspects of stress and how to prevent. the focus is more on prevention than managing it. Its actually right when author says that when we are born we stress less but as soon as move towards adulthood we start experiencing the stress. there are various reasons for the. the author nicely identifies them in this book and also provide the remedy on how to handle them.

The author provides a solution called P-E-T which involves classic 3 Principles by Sydney Banks + 2 exercises and one medication technique ABC - Affirmation, Breathing and concentration. He has provided the details steps to perform this.

Overall focus of the remedy is to keep calm under any circumstances.

Overall the book is good and I liked it. I rate it 4/5.

Reading this in the midst of the coronavirus outbreak, whilst in lockdown, has been a tremendous help.
The ideas were so helpful and I also found the stories about other people not only interesting but helpful too.
This book really has helped me try to stay calm during this time of chaos! Thank you Kiran Dintyala.
Thank you netgalley.

I give stress workshops, so I'm always interested in learning how others manage their stress. This book does not get caught up on the mechanics of stress, but rather offers a sort of fatherly advice on how to manage your thoughts . This book is well written, easy to read and well-organized. I would especially recommend it to young adults.
