"It's time to make stress your ally, not your enemy. Stress is inherent to the human condition. When not properly understood, stress can wreak havoc on our mental and physical health, our relationships, and our lives. But it doesn't have to be that way. In Stress Wisely, award-winning psychology scholar and resiliency expert Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe explains how we can be strategic in stressful times by challenging everything we've been told about stress--and wielding its power in our favour.

Life is joyful, complicated, messy, and downright hard at times, AND you are capable to navigate it all.
