A provocative deep dive into how technology is wrecking our hormones and our health—and the powerful tools you need to reclaim your well-being and thrive.
Stress Nation provides answers to the lingering questions many people have about why they constantly feel tired, lonely, anxious, disconnected, and unwell, explaining in both humorous and poignant prose how the technology that was supposed to make our lives easier is actually one of the leading causes of chronic stress, dysregulated cortisol, and dangerously inadequate sleep. Equal parts commentary and practical guide, this book offers solutions that empower readers to manage their stress, improve their sleep, and implement scientifically supported methods to break the cycle of device addiction.
In this book, readers will discover:
- How cortisol—the Master Hormone and your body's overworked alarm system—can become dangerously imbalanced, ruin your health, and leave you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
- How Silicon Valley went for your attention instead of your well-being – and how that's warped the way we sleep, date, parent, and even think.
- Practical, empowering ways to unplug, reconnect, and start living like a human again – not a device-controlled zombie.
Stress Nation is both your wake-up call and game plan that delivers on its promise of a clearer mind, healthier body, and better life.
