Free Spirit Publishing
Synopsis
When stress has the “survival brain” on overdrive, what happens to the “thinking brain”?
How can teens learn to use the mind-body connection to stay cool and make smart choices when the pressure’s
on?
This book is packed with practical information and stress-lessening tools teens can use every day. Dozens of realistic scenarios describe stressful situations teen readers can relate to. Each scenario is followed by a clear, understandable process for reducing or stopping the stress and making decisions that won’t leave a teen lamenting, “What was I thinking?”
Too Stressed to Think? is definitely worth reading. The book won’t eliminate all the problems in your life, but it will help you reduce how often you get stressed and help you deal with the things that annoy you.
