Mastering the Storm Within: Wisdom for Understanding and Transforming Stress (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798187033072)

You are not your stress.

That racing heart, that sleepless night, that feeling of being crushed by the weight of it all-they don't define you. They are signals. Messages from a part of you trying to protect something precious.

The problem isn't feeling stressed. The problem is what stress does to you.
