Undoing Perpetual Stress book.

Undoing Perpetual Stress book. Our brains weren't built for this . The Perpetual Stress Response floods us with anxiety and undermines our confidence in our ability to live authentically; we live with anxiety and pain and distract ourselves with stories about materialism and status. All of our stories nowadays also have to deal with the emptiness of our culture-which we keep being told is the best of all possible worlds-and the accompanying perpetual stress.

Includes bibliographical references (p. -483) and index. Adjusting the brain.

I've just finished reading a copy of this book that I had checked out from the library. I found that I would want to read certain parts again, particularly the mindfulness exercises. So I ordered a copy for my library. As a person who has been diagnosed some time ago with Fibromyalgia Syndrome, one of the Non-Specific Illnesses referred to in the book, I was especially interested in the Biopyschosocial view which I believe this author represents. I have been dissatisfied with my medical diagnosis and the lack of treatments when the condition is considered strictly medical. I have been ready to accept/integrate a mind/body model of this condition and for most of the book I was willing to accept this model. I take issue with some of Mr. O'Connors assertions that "most" people with non-specific illnesses have a history of anxiety or depression. He may have cited studies, but I did not see the footnotes. And he states unequivocally that these non-specific illnesses "ARE NOT MEDICAL ILLNESSES". This statement somehow seems at odds with the acceptance throughout the book of the reality of the physical symptoms and the fact that the brain is a part of the physical body. Even mainstream research now acknowledges that Fibromyalgia is the result of disordered brain chemistry. While his intentions are undoubted noble, wanting people to get over the idea that there is a simple explanation or cure for non-specific disorders, this assertion undoes much of the persuading of the earlier parts of the book. If the mind affects the body, and the body affects the mind and both affect the brain, then why be so strident on this point? I am going to start to practice mindfulness as a part of my life, along with considering cognitive/behavioral therapy. I don't believe (any longer) in quick cures. But a multi-disiplinary approach is for me, and I am not dismissing my physician's advice for a strictly mindfulness approach.

A generous thoughtful unravelling of the causes of the "age of anxiety" written in a highly readable way. A delight if you love reading & your state of mind allows sufficient concentration. It is the bookish equivalent of having an understanding, gentle companion sitting at one's bedside during an illness.

I read two of O'Connor's other books Undoing Depression and The Active Treatment of Depression. They were great. Undoing Depression is probably still the best, most helpful book on depression I have read. But this book was torturous. I felt buried in a cosmic morass of studies, books, scientific articles, and case studies. The Active Treatment of Depression was written for professional therapists (which I am not), so it was not easy reading. But at least it was focused and directed.

As much as I like O'Connor and as much as his other books have helped my depression, I have to say pass on this one.

If you are prepared to give up suffering in the modern world, read and digest this classic guidebook. It will help you learn about your own mind and emotions and how to make yourself stronger through insight.

Got this on Kindle and thought it looked good, so I bought in paperback. Big waste...all the author could do is repeat the statement "Perpetual Stress" which was stressful and really give you no answers other than technically analyzing the brain. I don't care how it works, I care how to get relief. This book isn't it.

Well worth reading if you suffer from chronic, generalized anxiety. While this book is not a substitute for professional help, it certainly gives suffers of anxiety and depression an excellent insight into the many causes of these disorders and offers ways to temper the effects of these afflictions. I would say this book is a very good adjunct to individual or group therapy.
