Less Stress, More Calm: Discover Your Unique Stress Personality and Make It Your Superpower

Each stress personality chapter highlights "stress resets" and unique "superpowers" to use to shift your mindset, get to know your inner voice more intimately, and learn what parts of yourself under stress might actually be used as golden opportunities for growth.

"The point of this book is to learn how to manage and control how you uniquely show up under stress: your stress personality. Stress isn't the problem," writes the author.

Less Stress, More Calm isn't just another self-help book with one-size-fits-all vague and generalized concepts. Years of research and personal experience have led author Lauren Hodges, EdD., to a local, national, and internationally successful career providing proven, adaptable, and easily implemented strategies for living a calmer, more enjoyable life with less stress.

The author's quirky sense of humor, community compassion, scientific insight, and devotion to her field of expertise in human performance and well-being bring you to a sense of self otherwise unknown or yet understood.

Less Stress, More Calm identifies and defines eight Stress Personalities:

• The Fighter
• The Runner

• The Freezer
• The Pleaser
• The Negative Self-Talker
• The Distracted

• interactive exercises
• a no-wrong-answers stress inventory
• thought-provoking, reflective questions
• interesting science lessons
• dozens of stress reset strategies

Readers will learn to better recognize themselves under stress and take action to recover so they can show up as their best more often for people and relationships that matter most, at work and at home.
