by Luke Mathers, Mick Zeljko

Overview

Harness Your Stress Into A Productive Strength!
Do you struggle with stress? Let’s be honest, that’s most of us. Maybe you’ve even read articles on how to relieve your stress. But in STRESS TEFLON, Luke Mathers and Mick Zeljko explain that eliminating your stress is not the answer. Instead, you can utilise stress to get more out of life, becoming a better version of yourself.
STRESS TEFLON will help you see stress in a whole new way. You will learn: • the evolutionary origins of stress • how to achieve eudemonia, the Greek concept of “objective flourishing” • the difference between your Old and New Brains • the science behind stress and behaviour • how to turn stress on its head for your advantage • the three foundations to becoming STRESS TEFLON
Luke and Mick’s compelling explanation of stress and its benefits will help you understand how we tick and use that understanding to improve your productivity, your relationships, and your outlook on life’s challenges.
By developing self-awareness and contributing to your tribe, you can obtain the pride and confidence necessary to achieve almost anything. If you had the belief that you could handle any situation, what would you have to be stressed about?

About the Author

LUKE MATHERS has a rare magnetism that occurs when you meet truly authentic people. He is someone that cares about the people he meets and he shows it. Luke is a husband and father and true Australian visionary who refuses to conform and believes in doing good and making the world a better place.

Growing up with three older sisters, he learnt at an early age that anything was possible. With a love of innovation, he has owned more than a dozen businesses. He is an inventor, author, and philanthropist who is constantly looking to find better ways to improve the world around him.

Luke started an optometry aid service in Vanuatu and has provided thousands of pairs of glasses to people who were devastated by Cyclone Pam. But allowing people to see wasn’t enough for this ambitious, go-getting Aussie. He is also a founding shareholder and board advisor to Nevhouse, a company that builds low-cost housing in third-world countries out of recycled plastic. Luke is a true believer that stress can be good for you if you learn how to utilise it.

MICK ZELJKO, After completing an honours degree in physics, he commenced work on a PhD in astrophysics but soon after realised that the sheltered life of academia wasn’t for him (yet). He left for the corporate life and spent the next twenty-five years building and enjoying a successful career across sectors including funds management, energy markets, resources, and climate change. He understands how big businesses work. Two decades into the corporate world only increased his fascination with who we are and how we work. He returned to the University of Queensland where he now teaches and is finishing up a PhD in cognitive psychology. Mick has a knack for seeing right to the heart of complex issues and a gift for communicating those insights in clear and simple terms.
