From Harvard stress expert, nationally sought after speaker, and television correspondent Dr. Aditi Nerurkar comes a reimagined approach to overcoming your stress and burnout using five small but mighty mindset shifts.

For Dr. Nerurkar, the common misperception of stress as “bad” needs reframing. Stress is a healthy biological phenomenon that helps us tackle life’s many demands. It becomes problematic when it’s out of tune with the frequency of our lives, result­ing in burnout, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and many other physical symptoms. To bring stress back to healthy levels, Dr. Nerurkar offers her five science-backed mindset shifts, rooted in more than two decades of clinical experience, for when life gets hard:

• The First Reset: Get Clear on What Matters Most
• The Second Reset: Find Quiet in a Noisy World
• The Third Reset: Sync Your Brain and Your Body
• The Fourth Reset: Come Up for Air
• The Fifth Reset: Bring Your Best Self Forward

Dr. Nerurkar illuminates why our everyday attempts at being “resilient”—like multitasking, sleeping less, and undergoing huge lifestyle overhauls—aren’t beneficial to our stressed brains. Instead, she prescribes practical, real-world solutions for our modern-day perils that are time efficient, cost-free, and can be applied to anyone’s life, including fol­lowing the Resilience Rule of 2 (making no more than two changes at a time because doing more is unsustainable), accepting that multitasking is a myth (our brains are wired to do one thing at a time!), and adopting her Bookend Method (creating boundaries to honor our brain’s need for compart­mentalization).

The five mindset shifts, along with fifteen proven techniques, offer you a road map to change your relationship with stress, bring your biology back into balance, and feel calmer right now.

Amazing book

I love the scientific explanations behind our stress, our reactions, and how we can overcome it.

Articulated well.

This book changed my life! It gave EASY routines to implement to the everyday life. & YES they work. Thanks Doc!

Must read- so helpful

As soon as I finished the book, I was ready to listen to it again. very thankful for a book that offers very specific action steps to take, and leaves you feeling very human the whole time.

Great book

Great message. Enough repetition to help with absorbing the information, delivered in an easily understandable and applicable way. Helps with understanding small changes over time add up and i’m already implementing small changes and seeing results.

Useful and inspiring

This brings me hope in the midst of acute stress and burnout. It has provided me with the steps I believe I need to improve both my physical and mental well-being. I will update with the results. Thank you Dr Nerurkar!

Usable Methods

Simple methods that work for stress reduction. I am a government executive and have had difficulty historically reducing stress, despite mostly positive habits. This book has doable steps that have helped me!

Control your Stress

Very empathetic and empowering book and author. Strongly recommended to all of those leading a life.

A must read

Within 30 minutes of starting the audiobook, I knew two things: I would need a hard copy for easy reference, and everyone will benefit from the 5 Resets. If I had the resources, I’d buy copies for everyone in my life.

Dr. Nerurkar presents 15 simple, effective methods to reduce stress in this book, and they are golden! We all struggle with stress overload at some point in our lives, and using the 5 Resets will help now and in the future.

The information is presented in clear, accessible writing, which makes The 5 Resets an invaluable tool.

Perfect timing

For me, when I purchased this book, I was in a very low place. I was aware that I am depressed, lack of motivated, sleep walking through my days could not go on. Dr. Nerurkar's story is wonderfully woven into the diamonds in this book. For me, it adds credibility to her advice that she shares her own journey with stress, anxiety and backs up her findings with facts. It is inspiring how she found a successful way toward recreating resilience and healing in her life and those of her patients. I have already sent the book as a gift to a friend.

Really Helpful

i never like "self help" books but this one is really mindful and has really good insights and examples of how to solve what you want. I really enjoyed it 🙌🏼
