About this episode

Dr Frederic Luskin returns to talk about his book, Stress Free for Good: 10 Scientifically Proven Life Skills for Health and Happiness. Initially developing 10 steps to help pilots de-stress, Luskin chose to expand on those steps in a book so everyone can learn how to manage stress.

Luskin shares his story of how these 10 steps were developed, the scientific explanation of why we stress so much, and the key pieces of stress. We discuss how to start de-stressing, exercises you can practice, and tips on how to manage chronic stress.

We talk about:

  • Why Luskin wrote a book on stress
  • Why we stress so much
  • Key pieces of stress
  • 10 steps to stress less
  • Belly breathing for stress relief
  • Top 3 tips for managing stress
