Learn the best tools and techniques to help you stress less and relax more. Athena is a guided learning experience featuring curated reading lists of “must-read” books that span a multitude of topics to help you do everything from turbocharge your health or career, improve your sex life, find inner happiness and even up your chess game. Here, we present the key insights and takeaways from the most insightful books about Stress. Full Catastrophe Listening, by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD In the face of stress and chaos, practicing meditation and other mindfulness techniques can ease your psychological and physical pain. Just Sit, by Sukey and Elizabeth Novogratz The title says it all: For anyone who’s been curious about but reluctant to try meditating, just sit. Start there. It’s that simple — and the benefits are profound. 10% Happier, by Dan Harris A meditation skeptic tells it like it is: The practice won’t solve all your problems but it can help in tangible, quantifiable ways — from lowering your blood pressure to helping rewire your brain. Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, by Robert M. Sapolsky Animals experience extreme stress — but only in short bursts. Humans tend to worry for months on end, triggering a chronic stress response that causes physical and mental fallout, from depression to heart disease. Mindfulness for Beginners, by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD Meditation is scientifically proven to release stress and improve health. And take it from the scientist who brought mindful meditation to the mainstream, starting your practice is easier than you think. Deep Listening, by Jillian Pransky For your own well-being and peace of mind, rather than trying to “be your best self” and “do more,” try to “be here” and “listen more.”
