We live in a period of human history where we are called to respond to many challenges, both collectively and individually: pandemic, climate change, a plethora of new political, economic, and social difficulties. If nothing else, now more than ever, it is important to manage these challenges with calmness, not panic.

This book was written in response to the increased stress and anxiety we experience daily, and it includes methods that, when applied to our daily lives, can help us reduce our stress levels and welcome more calm and serenity into our lives.

Much of our daily stress and anxiety is due to the meaning we give to what happens to us, which is nothing more than the thoughts that precede or follow an event.

Believing thoughts like I won't make it, they should have answered me, they shouldn't have lied to me, I won't manage everything, they only think about themselves, no one understands me, I don't make enough money, I'm not enough, life is difficult, I made wrong choices causes painful emotions which in turn cause more thoughts.

Fatigue, anger, disappointment, sadness, arguments, misunderstandings. Believing these thoughts, we enter a vicious cycle that can worsen our experience without substantial reason, because usually thoughts like these do not correspond to the truth.

The methods described in the book will show you how to distance yourself from stressful thoughts before believing them to be true. By observing and investigating them, you will learn to become the master of your mind rather than its servant. The result? Less stress, more calm, better interpersonal relationships, a more pleasant life.
