- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 December 2018Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseDr Chatterfjee has written another brilliant, non condescending, essential read - ‘ The Stress Solution’. If you’re a human reading this, then you will benefit from this enormously. Stress is an epidemic in our lives that affects our health (both mental and physical). The book is laid out in clear sections and the advice and steps are very doable with great background science. I particularly like that it’s not overwhelming, it’s all doable, all small steps that add up to a big difference. Thanks to Dr Chaterjee’s first book ‘The Four Pillar Plan’ I was able to reduce my medication for a chronic condition to the minimum. I have slept better, exercised in different ways and that’s had a positive overall effect on my daily life. These books are something of a health bible in our house. The Stress Solution focuses more on our mental and emotional health and again is laid out well, easy to follow steps and suggestions. I love the section on reframing your day and on taking some social media breaks. The benefit to taking some social media breaks is astonishing. I’ve found that we lose our identity somewhat on social media and taking breaks is really calming, it actually gives you brain space and more energy to use in new ways. For me, Dr Chatterjee’s more holistic and lifestyle approach is one I favour. I don’t want to take a pill and put meds into my body if I can, instead, implelemnt small lifestyle changes. These books, I feel, are a proper, solid investment into long term health. What could be more important? If we don’t function well, then every area of our lives are impacted negatively. I bought my copy for about the price of a prescription ... as a result of the advice, I’m on less medication and now take less prescriptions.... so I’m saving money too!!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2019Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThe media could not be loaded.
Dr Chatterjee recommends the Three Habits of Calm. An incredibly powerful practice that’s simple to do.
1 Affirmations
Your mind is a powerful tool in the creation of happiness and success. The mind consists of two parts: the conscious and the subconscious. The conscious mind is the logical part of the brain. It is where you do your thinking and planning. Your subconscious mind is the part you are not aware of. It ensures your heart keeps beating and your lungs continue breathing. According to scientists, the subconscious part occupies 90% of our mind. The subconscious mind is the emotional part of the brain. It runs on autopilot in the background and is responsible for your habits. It stores information such as your personal beliefs, memories, skills and life experiences. The data points you have gathered shape your subconscious mind. In an affirmation, you talk to your subconscious mind, re-programming what you want out of your life. Think of it as an upgrade of the operating software. So many people are not aware they need to upgrade their operating software. They are running on outdated programme that’s 5 years, 10 years old. Regular affirmation practice re-programmes your brain, gives you more control of your life and start changing how you see yourself and the world.
For instance, your affirmation could be 'I am calm and stress- free.' Or, 'I choose to be happy' or 'I am the architect of my own health.'
2 Reframing the day
The personal story Dr Chatterjee shared about reframing stress is fascinating. He relates a struggle he experienced when the GP practice he worked has been taken over by a private owners. This meant he lost much autonomy at work. He was micromanaged and even told what time of the day to look through daily blood results. He became extremely frustrated and this impacted negatively in his personal life. He would feel wounded and stressed such that the thought of going to work the next day was dreadful. His wife vidh suggested to leave but he couldn’t as he had bills and mortgage to pay. He felt stuck but decided to do something about it. Dr Chatterjee reminded himself of psychological studies indicating people are happier when they are at the service of others. He started going for a walk at lunch and would reflect on the good he has done in the morning. Focusing his thought on the people he helped relieved his personal pain and suffering. The way he chose to interpret a stressful event is crucial in his ability to manage himself. Reframing shifts the focus away from the negative pattern of thoughts. Take control of how you're framing your life and make it work for you rather than against you.
3 Gratitude in the evening
The human mind has been programmed to focus on threats for our survival. We pay more attention to negative things than positive things. We overlook many goodness that happen in our life as our mind may live in the past or worry about the future. We do not appreciate the good things. Dr Chatterjee claims gratitude is an antidote to rumination. Practicing gratitude is an affirmation of goodness. We affirm good things in life. We recognize that the sources of these goodness are outside of us. A useful framework in the book I like is the three Ps
Person
Pleasure
Promise
The 3 habits of calm is an incredibly powerful practice I would recommend you try. Affirmation, reframing and gratitude.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2019Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseWhat a treat to receive my book just a few days after Christmas. I have to say that once I started reading it I couldn't stop and ended up reading it from cover to cover. But this is a book that will take more than a couple of days to appreciate. It explains so much about why we feel the way we do and how we can progress in life by doing something positive to correct and remould our lives. What I found most interesting was that before reading the book I never considered myself to feeling "stressed" but without realising it my life has become dominated by unimportant issues such as internet, Facebook, lack of time....Dr Chattergee made me far more aware of what was going on and realising this means that I have to acknowledge it and then decide to change it - the joy of the book is that there are things we can all do that cost nothing but our effort to change the things that do not enrich our lives. I am going to go back to the beginning of the book today and reread a section and then put into practice a couple of the ideas. Dr Chattergee states that it is important to do things slowly and in a manageable way. I totally agree that small regular an focused efforts that repeat can then become habit and you can see the changes.....a powerful book and one that every Dr's surgery should have in their waiting rooms!!
If only all doctors were as forward thinking as Dr Chattergee…….thank you....A* !
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 February 2020Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis was recommended and used on a course I took on dealing with anxiety. The course was truly life-changing, affecting positively my relationships, sense of self-worth, optimism, ability to cope, thinking, empathy and general well-being. The book gives many helpful strategies for improving your outlook on life so that you can reject the thinking patterns that lead to stress and ill health.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great book with great & helpful suggestions
Format: Kindle EditionVerified PurchaseAfter reading The 4 Pillar Plan I got some great suggestions about how I might make changes in my everyday life. Stress too plays a factor there, thought I never factored in quite how I should look at it, nor how to reduce it. The Stress Solution has certainly given me tips I’ll implement with hopes I can see positive results. Thanks again Rangan!
