Summary of Melanie Greenberg, Ph.D.'s The Stress-Proof Brain

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Stress is a part of life, and it’s here to stay. You can’t avoid it, but you can learn to cope with it. The skills you’ll learn in this book will help you manage stress more effectively so that life stressors become manageable challenges rather than insurmountable threats.

#2 Your stress response was designed to help you survive immediate threats. When you use a system designed for acute, life-threatening stress over a long period, it can create wear and tear on your mind and body.

#3 Your brain has the ability to change and grow new neurons, which explains why your childhood environment can affect your response to stress decades later.

#4 The emotions of fear and anger are created by your body’s physiological stress response, combined with your perception of the situation as a threat. When your amygdala perceives a threat, it initiates fight or flight mode.
