Heart of the Matter Barry Dinner

Across the gender spectrum and at any age, everyone experiences some level or form of stress. Whether for a young individual struggling to attain financial stability and career security; a parent juggling family and work life; or a senior faced with dwindling finances, various health issues or the struggle to maintain their independence, stress forms a large component of our daily lives. Stress can lead to illness in people who otherwise maintain a healthy lifestyle. Heart attack, stroke and many types of cancers, as well as cognitive impairment and dementia, are all linked to chronic stress. The good news is that although you may feel that stress is controlling your life, the way you respond to and manage stress is the key factor in helping you cope and live a longer, healthier life. Heart of the Matter was written to not only help you identify, manage and ultimately overcome your stress, but to describe how you can live your life in a calmer and more deliberate manner. Valuable advice has been included on how to make the most of each day and fill your life with meaning and purpose. Stress does not have to control you. You can master the way you live your life. Take action and make the change today - by addressing the "heart of the matter"!
