I enjoyed “Stressilient: How to Beat Stress and Build Resilience”. The title is a little deceiving to though because the book is about so much more than stress management. Instead the author broke the content up into chapters based on your goal. Each chapter included both the logic or reasoning behind focusing on that goal and how it relates to stress management as well as practical activities and questions to think about. Each chapter also had a summary paragraph which I found helpful. My two criticisms are:

1. Some of the sentences were so long I got lost in them
2. I wish there was a comprehensive summary at the end of the book, even if it was just a repeat of each chapter’s summary paragraph.

All in all, I found “Stressilient” by Sam Akbar, PhD a humorous, relatable and actionable resource.
