Stress Cure Now: A Stress Management Book With A New, Logical And Effective Approach
"Can you cure your stress right now, without the use of any drugs, without learning any techniques or without abandoning modern life?" Most people would answer, "No, but I'm working on it." They think their stress is due to a certain person, work situation, monetary issue, health condition, etc. In "Stress Cure Now," Dr. Zaidi clearly shows how the root cause of stress resides inside you, not out there. “You confuse stressors with the cause of stress. You keep chasing the stressors while the root cause continues to thrive inside you,” Dr. Zaidi explains. “As the root cause of stress lies inside you, so does the solution, right? Only when you know the root cause of stress, you can be free of it.” Dr. Zaidi's strategy to cure stress is based on his personal awakening, in-depth medical knowledge, and vast clinical experience. It is truly a New approach to be stress-free in this stressed-out world. His approach is simple, direct, original, and therefore, profound. He uses logic - the common sense that every human is born with – to dissect out the layers of deception - what he calls The Acquired Self. Once free of the Acquired Self, you rediscover your True Self – the fountain of everlasting inner peace. In “Stress Cure Now”, you will • How Stress plays a role in all your illnesses • What is the Mind-Body connection? • What is the basis of your Busy Mind? • What is the real root cause of stress and how to be free of it?

This book takes a different approach to stress and combines concepts of Ekhart Tolle's the Power of Now. I don't know if the author has read that book, but the concept in itself is exactly the same. I find it strange that I have recently "stumbled" over two similar books with a very interesting and new (at least for me) take on how we should live our lives.
The analysis of stress at the beginning of the book is one of the better ones I've seen; very medical and scientific. The approach after that is spiritual in a sense. I found it totally devoid of religion which I found refreshing.
A good book, worth the read if you are a chronic sufferer of stress and are looking for new alternatives to deal with it.

As the pace of life gets more and more chaotic, we are beginning to realize the influence of stress. It’s more than feeling “stressed out”, overwhelmed, or tired. In fact, stress increases the risks of heart disease, diabetes, and a wide range of other chronic health conditions.
But what is stress? Yes, we’ve all experienced stressful events such as a tight deadline, divorce, death of a loved one, or diagnosis of a life changing illness. Although extremely trying at the time, we typically manage to get through the situation (though it’s not necessarily pretty) and eventually come to some sort of new normal.
Yet, even after we do get back to daily life, we still feel stressed. Why is that? Stress Cure Now looks at probably the most important cause of stress, our own thoughts. Even during periods devoid of stressful events, we are constantly reliving our past traumas and worrying about the future, all while trying to do more, be more, and have more. In the process, life becomes nothing more than a blur of memories and regrets.
As Stress Cure Now clearly shows curing stress is really not a huge mystery. We don’t need prescriptions, alcohol, or even food to mask our symptoms. We don’t even need psychoanalysis to come to terms with our past traumas and dramas. What we need is to understand is what is below these issues, particularly how they relate to the acquired mind and our true selves.
Really, it’s a very simple concept. Even the practice is pretty easy. Yet, it’s amazing how a different perspective can change your outlook. An a-ha moment.

This was an interesting book. It has some good points. It definitely points out how stress can harm your health. Simple message of the book is get back to basics and do not give in to emotions. Rein in our thoughts to reduce worry of the future and to overcome pain/fear of the past. Step back and use your common sense to figure out what really matters. There were other ideas that I do not buy into, so I will not repeat those. Overall, it was worth the read.
