Book Description
It’s exhausting reading the constant headlines about reducing and getting rid of stress and anxiety to better our collective health. We’re all aware of the anxiety and mental health crisis most of us face, but the solutions that we’ve been offered are not only out of date, but they are also often counterproductive!
Stress isn’t going anywhere. But that can be a good thing.
When we recognize that stress is only energy, we can begin to wield it in a way that can help us rather than hinder our progress toward our goals.
More stress, more anxiety, can actually just mean more power. Afterall, Olympic athletes don’t break world records at practice. They break them at the height of stress and pressure. With the right framework, stress can become our greatest competitive advantage.Backed by decades of research and told in a compelling narrative,
Springboard provides a detailed roadmap for profoundly changing our professional and personal lives through the Fear(less) Stress Framework. With surprising truths gleaned from proprietary research, as well as case studies, interviews, and validated tests readers can use to deeper their own personal understanding of their cumulative stress, Springboard will impart fresh, actionable tools that anyone can use to channel their peak performance even under the most challenging circumstances.Winner of 5 Book Awards!
