Book Preview: #1 Our stress is constantly running on automatic pilot, dictating our reactions. We aren’t choosing to have our stressed reactions, but we are reacting on automatic pilot.

#2 The stress response is a series of almost instantaneous reactions in the body when we are faced with a threat. It helps us fight off the threat or flee to safety. However, these reactions can get us into trouble today.

#3 The Amygdalae, two almond-shaped clusters in the limbic region, are the centers of our threat-detection system. They are responsible for basic body functions, innate reactions, and strong emotions. They are also the seat of our threat response.

#4 Mindfulness meditation is the stealth tool that will help you calm down your reactivity. It is the awareness that arises from paying attention on purpose in the present moment and nonjudgmentally. It can significantly change how reactive your brain is over time.
