Mo Gawdat is an engineer. What most of us see as insurmountable problems he sees as systems overloads to tackle and solve. Unstressable breaks stress into inputs and effects, classifying human stressors as: stress to the mind, stress to emotions, stress to the body, and stress to the soul. Once classified, Gawdat and co-author Alice Law show listeners how stress can be predicted—and once predicted, prevented.

Unstressable illuminates for listeners how most of us deal with the unpleasant, anxiety-producing and even miserable or tragic events in our lives: stress is always a by-product, leading directly to inability to cope, health problems and cratered confidence. Gawdat and Law guide listeners to both heart centred and science-based solutions. They’ll train listeners to:

—Develop habits and attitudes of listening and learning that limit stress

—Learn the language of de-stressing mind, emotions, body and soul

—Respond, not react

—Release self-criticism, insomnia, and lethargy

—Increase energy, focus and confidence

Unstressable is a handbook for those who understand that stress isn’t what happens to you; it’s how you handle what happens to you. It’s a practical and rounded approach to an ever increasing modern day problem.

Really resonated with my situation

I love and admire Mo, and now I’m a fan of Alice as well. I know whenever i feel stressed again, I’ll come back to this book and refresh my memory on their techniques and lovely ideas. Helped me get through some really tough times, and I am forever grateful.

This book is for a specific demographic that I am

The first part of the book is unrelatable, unless you are a upper middle class career driven non-POC! The rest of the book is a bit alienating for those of us who deal with legitimate stress that is related to how we exist and navigate the world as people of color, which I found odd for someone of his background. Gawdat's use of mathematical equations to equate to emotional and thought processes, I found very cold and disengaged.On many occasions throughout this book the authors balance between ignoring the elephant in the room, and dispensing an intellectual version of spiritual bypassing. For me, this all seemed like a recipe for dissociation.
