7 Steps

From Barely Surviving to Consciously Thriving

Stop your stress

before it stops you!

  • The World Health Organization calls stress 'the health epidemic of the 21st century

  • Employers worldwide rank stress as today's #1 workforce issue.

  • Newspaper headlines talk about teenagers suffering burnout.

  • The moment of truth

    On November 25, 1998, I collapsed at the gym, mid-workout. Within 24 hours I was in a hospital bed, struggling to breathe, with a serious lung infection that showed up on the X-ray as a dark spot the size of an orange.

    That first night, I had a panic attack that lasted for hours. My heart was pounding so hard I thought I was dying.

    Doctors told me I might never walk a flight of stairs again — maybe never work again.

    I had been living on autopilot for years, ignoring every warning sign my body gave me. That night was my wake-up call.

    Today, I live in a home with stairs, a full life with my family and my work. Getting here wasn't quick or easy — but it's exactly how I built the 7-step method in this book.

    cover Shifting Out Of Chronic Stress

    How to address chronic stress for a healthy life?

    Chronic stress depletes and destroys you. Thus, we cannot afford to leave it unattended. We need to treat it — we need to shift out of it.


    Quick fixes like medication or meditation can ease your stress for a while. But they don't solve chronic stress for good — we have to address the root cause, from within.

    A long lasting solution to stress.

    Danielle Sax shows you how to prevent or handle any serious stress situation — using the same 7-step method that's already worked for hundreds of others.


    By mastering conscious self-care, you can say goodbye to crippling stress for good, and live the meaningful life you deserve.
