WINNER OF THE BOOKLIFE NONFICTION PRIZE

It’s time to make stress your ally, not your enemy.

Stress is inherent to the human condition. When not properly understood, stress can wreak havoc on our mental and physical health, relationships, and lives. But it doesn’t have to be that way. In Stress Wisely, award-winning psychology scholar and resiliency expert Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe explains how we can be strategic in stressful times by challenging everything we’ve been told about stress--and wielding its power in our favour.

With her signature honesty, humour, and relatability, Dr. Robyne draws on her vast research and real-world experiences in wellness, stress, and resiliency to help you navigate the chaos in the wisest way possible. Through smart strategies and awareness-raising exercises grounded in science and the Eight Realms of Wellness--physical, emotional, intellectual, social, environmental, occupational, financial, and spiritual--Dr. Robyne teaches you how to make stress your ally in every stage of your life. Now in a new trade paperback format!

Described as one of the most sought-after, engaging, thought-provoking, and truly transformative international speakers and scholars in her field, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe is a multi-award-winning education and psychology instructor and resiliency expert. What sets Dr. Robyne apart is how she learned resiliency from the ground up, as a person who has experienced significant obstacles yet forged her comeback; as a result, her work is both relatable and accessible. She lives in Ontario, Canada, with her husband, Jeff, and their three children: Hunter, Ava Lesley, and Jaxson.
