In her book, Wise Mind Living: Master Your Emotions, Transform Your Life, esteemed psychologist Dr. Erin Olivo provides you with an owner’s manual to your emotions and managing stress.
Your stress and the related problems it causes all stem from distressing emotions that are being ignored, denied or just poorly handled. In order to manage your stress, you need to learn how to manage your distressing emotions—because that’s what stress really is. When you’re able to get a handle on your emotions, you can get a handle on your problems. Then you’ll find the stress relief you’ve been looking for.
“When you’re living in balance between your emotions and logic, you’re experiencing Wise Mind Living,” explains Dr. Olivo. “It’s when you have the confidence to deal with difficult decisions or situations because you’re in charge—not your emotions.” (Read Dr. Olivo’s post on why she wrote Wise Mind Living here.)

Dr. Olivo provides mindfulness exercises and lifestyle strategies to help change the way you think, feel, and behave in situations where stress or difficult emotions like anxiety, sadness, anger or shame arise. The book also includes a six-week Wise Mind Living program for practicing these strategies.
Wise Mind Living is the owner’s manual to your emotions that you’ve been waiting for. If you’re looking for stress relief that works, Wise Mind Living offers a practical roadmap to help you navigate life’s difficulties with confidence so you can build a life you love.
