Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. Nice blend of scientific background, with real-life examples and actionable tips. The key idea in the book is this: Stress is only bad for you if you believe it is; if you approach it right, stress can actually be GOOD for your health, satisfaction and performance. The book has a chirpy, conversational tone that makes it easy to read. Kelly McGonigal does a good job in presenting her case about stress. She explains how beliefs/mindsets affect our outcomes, how our bodies respond to stress, where stress got its bad name, and how stress can be harnessed for positive outcomes: by changing your mindset and tackling stress as and when it surfaces. By the end of the book, you really have a good idea of how stress works and how you can manage it better. What it covers: • How mindsets and beliefs are proven to shape your actual, real-world outcomes. Find out how your stress mindset impacts your response to stress, and hence your health and performance. • How your body responds to stress with a range of stress responses, including Fight-or-Flight, Challenge, Tend-and-Befriend, and Learn-and-Grow. Learn a range of mindset interventions that can permanently shift your perception and approach to stress, to create positive long-term effects that snowball over time. • To equip yourself with specific strategies and tactics for handling stressful situations, and to transform stress to a resource for performance enhancement. Book summary at: https://readingraphics.com/book-summary-the-upside-of-stress/ "I'm so stressed, and I'm doing great," said like no one ever. Well, make that one person possibly: Kelly McGonigal. Having stress means that something matters to you. Something has meaning to you. We do spend a lot of time dreaming of a life with no cares. That's a nice mindset to visit once in a while. But long term give me a place where my decisions and life mean something. I do like the challenge mindset for stress. Each morning I wake up with a mental to do list in my head. If I just do these things, I'll be OK. If I do a few more things (stretch goal) then I'm ahead of the game. It was at times challenging to read this book which I would give it 4 stars. Maybe there were more details of studies and less descriptions of stories. Otherwise, those two little ideas I wrote about above are worth five years. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"The author of The Willpower Instinct delivers a controversial and groundbreaking new book that overturns long-held beliefs about stress. More than forty-four percent of Americans admit to losing sleep over stress. And while most of us do everything we can to reduce it, Stanford psychologist and bestselling author Kelly McGonigal, Ph. D., delivers a startling message: Stress isn't bad. In The Upside of Stress, McGonigal highlights new research indicating that stress can, in fact, make us stronger, smarter, and happier--if we learn how to embrace it. The Upside of Stress is the first book to bring together cutting-edge discoveries on the correlation between resilience--the human capacity for stress-related growth--and mind-set, the power of beliefs to shape reality. As she did in The Willpower Instinct, McGonigal combines science, stories, and exercises into an engaging and practical book that is both entertaining and life-changing, showing you: how to cultivate a mind-set to embrace stress how stress can provide focus and energy how stress can help people connect and strengthen close relationships why your brain is built to learn from stress, and how to increase its ability to learn from challenging experiences McGonigal's TED talk on the subject has already received more than 7 million views. Her message resonates with people who know they can't eliminate the stress in their lives and want to learn to take advantage of it. The Upside of Stress is not a guide to getting rid of stress, but a guide to getting better at stress, by understanding it, embracing it, and using it"--

I appreciated the different approach to stress, I've never heard of stress being good for you, or rather good ways to handle stress that don't just say to drop the thing that's stressing you out. Good stuff. ( )
