The End of Stress: Four Steps to Rewire Your Brain
Rid yourself of stress and live a richly beautiful life filled with the joy you deserve! Using a simple method, The End of Stress shows you how to change your brain’s default reaction from stress, anxiety, and depression to calm, creativity, and happiness.

Have you been struggling with your levels of stress, unable to escape it completely? It’s not your fault. We were brought up in a fear-based, shame-based culture that wired our brains’ default systems to stress and fear—triggering all sorts of stress reactions that sabotage happiness, compromise health, and block our potential to flourish. If ignored too long, long-term stress can become deadly, resulting in a build-up of toxic stress hormones in your body, shrinking your brain mass and lowering optimum brain function, depressing your emotional set point, and shortening your lifespan.

There’s now proof that the deadly long-term effects of stress are reversable and The End of Stress provides four steps to better achieve success and happiness. This specific shift literally rewires the brain to deliver the full measure of intelligence, creativity, and emotional balance that enables you to thrive instead of struggle.

The End of Stress: Four Steps to Rewire Your Brain guides you through an evidence-based process that achieves this powerful shift. This book is designed as a workshop-in-a-book, supported by a website of tools, audio files, and materials that can help create a new and healthier you!

About the Author

About The Author
Don Joseph Goewey is the director of the Center for Spiritual Exchange, the agency founded by Anthony De Mello. Don managed the Department of Psychiatry at Stanford University Medical School and also directed the Center for Attitudinal Healing that pioneered a psycho-spiritual approach to overcoming catastrophic life events; in 2005, the Center was awarded the AMA’s Excellence in Medicine citation. He has worked with people in some of the most stressful situations on earth—from refugees of war to people facing life-threatening illnesses. Don also participated in a think tank that integrated psychology, spirituality, and neuroscience into an approach for resolving the reactive patterns caused by fear conditioning.

Don is the author of Mystic Cool: The Neuroplasticity of Attitude and The End of Stress, both of which facilitate the shift in mindset that changes brain structure to quiet stress reactions and amplify the higher brain function that predicts greater success and happiness in life. Don is also the editor of the works by the late Anthony De Mello, including Stop Fixing Yourself: Wake Up, All is Well, A Year with Anthony De Mello: Waking Up Week by Week, and the Awareness Deck: 108 Cards for Selection and Inspiration.
