Uplifting & Inspiring NEW Books on Conscious Living Compiled by the editor

1. Emotional Inflammation: Discover your triggers and reclaim your equilibrium during anxious times Lise Van Susteren & Stacey Colino Published by Sounds True

Publication Date: April 2020 ISBN: 9781683644552 Pages: 296 I Price: $24.99 A rising number of people today are troubled by a phenomenon for which they don’t know there’s a name. This condition is called emotional inflammation—a state not unlike post-traumatic stress disorder, but one that stems from simply living in today’s anxious, overwhelming, and tumultuous world. If you’ve suffered from sleep problems, hyperreactivity, persistent grief, or inescapable worry about the future— especially triggered by the nonstop news cycle—then you’re probably dealing with emotional inflammation. The good news is: there’s something you can do about it. With Emotional Inflammation, general and forensic psychiatrist Dr. Lise Van Susteren joins writer Stacey Colino to present a breakthrough guide to help you become grounded and resilient in these unsettling times. You’ll begin by determining your “reactor type” to better understand how your body and mind respond to stress overload. You can’t always control the crises and catastrophes that are swirling around you. But that does not mean you’re powerless against the status quo—nor do you need to be at the mercy of the physiological, psychological, and spiritual stress responses inside you. With Emotional Inflammation, you now have an invaluable guide to help you cope with the challenges of a turbulent world, calm your body and mind, and reclaim a sense of peace, purpose, and connection to others.
