The Art of Taking It Easy: How to Cope with Bears, Traffic, and the Rest of Life's Stressors by Brian King
2.0
Started off strong but got repetitive and generic fast
Writing is also lacking
Quotes
- Ultimately overcoming stress and managing its impact on our lives depends on this basic realization: most of our stress is from perceived threats, not clear and present threats.
-But what if there is nothing you can do about it, what is the point of allowing yourself to get stressed?
-And that's the thing about worrying, it does nothing to prevent bad things from happening. Worrying does not affect the outcome of a situation, it doesn't make adverse events less likely to occur, it just makes our life less great.
-...optimistic people have pessimistic thoughts all the time. The most optimistic people among us are still plagued by negative thoughts, the difference is that they don't dwell on them or ruminate.
