Coping with stress

  • Overwhelmed

    £20.00

    All of us are familiar with this unsettling sensation of acceleration – the feeling that there’s ever more to do, and ever less time in which to do it. This is overwhelm: that persistent feeling that you can’t cope, that the demands on you are excessive, that you can’t see a way out. In this liberating book, award-winning writer and presenter of BBC Radio 4’s All in the Mind Claudia Hammond helps us to take the pressure off with a psychological toolkit that is both practical and evidence-based. Each chapter addresses a particular problem related to the sensation of being overwhelmed – from procrastination to the fear of regret, imposter syndrome, perfectionism and a seemingly never-ending to-do list – and offers a way out. Calm, clear and convincing, ‘Overwhelmed’ will give you the tools to take on everything life throws at you.

Drawing on deep scientific research and Dr Gabor Maté’s acclaimed clinical work, ‘When the Body Says No’ provides the answers to critical questions about the mind-body link – and the role that stress and our emotional makeup play in an array of common diseases.
