CHAPTER 1

Stress: How Do I Dodge the Bullets?

Robert is from the school of old. He was brought up in an era when there were three choices in life for young men: be a doctor, a lawyer, or an engineer. He studied law knowing it would be a stable job with good security. Long, hard hours of study, bar exam, 70-hour workweeks, lots of coffee, and dealing with difficult people were all bumps on his road to success. He fought and worked his way up the ladder and is now a junior partner in a pretty good firm. The days are still long and the stress is ridiculous. He's definitely got less hair.

His wife stopped working after their second child was born, so he now shoulders the entire financial burden for his family.

He lives in a pretty nice house in a good neighborhood. They have a pool and a Jacuzzi he hasn't been in since last year. They own a time-share condo that they stress about getting to. Health insurance prices go up each year, and his youngest kid has asthma and some crazy food allergies--all of which cost money and time and create more challenges around the house. Even with a part-time nanny, there seems to be no sleep to be had, and their last vacation to Maui was more trouble than it was worth. He came back exhausted and dejected.

Robert's life is filled with stress. Although he has a roof over his head, cars, and plenty of food, deep down, he's terrified. He knows he can't keep up at this pace. He feels like he's going to fall on his face one day, but he can't. After all, they all depend on him. He drinks coffee, goes to the gym, takes some multivitamins, and gets an occasional massage, but all the while his mind is filled with the pressures of keeping it all going.

A good lawyer needs to drive a Lexus.

Good parents send their kids to private school.

Gymnastics and piano lessons are a must.

The other parents are shipping their kids off to some fancy summer camp. Of course, we're in . . .

The joy is gone. The stress has tipped the scale, and he's constantly trying to keep his chin up. His dad taught him that "real men" never give up; they fight the good fight for their family and never show any weakness. He watches the morning news while eating his cereal with the kids. He feels like an absentee dad who didn't really see them grow up, and he mourns this fact. Robert feels the weakness is gaining momentum, and he is terrified that he's going to lose the battle. After all, with all the stuff he's constantly throwing money at, they barely have any savings, and if he stopped working, they'd be in real trouble within a few months. His life insurance would pay out a decent amount if he keeled over, and a couple of times already, he's thought about it, and this scared the hell out of him.

Robert is stuck. His adrenals are running on empty, and there's no end in sight. He can't see the way out, and each day, a silent desperation builds in the shadows of his psyche--a plight for the very survival of his family. Robert keeps fighting, but his doctor has warned that his blood pressure is getting too high. The stakes are high, and so are his numbers. What's a man to do?

THE PROBLEM

In a way, we all share Robert's problem. Our bodies developed and evolved over millions of years in response to some predictable stressors in our environment. "Fight or flight" is a beautiful system that helped us stay alive in a dangerous world filled with predators and scarcity. It evolved to help us get out of life-threatening situations by optimizing our metabolism to ramp up into crisis mode. When we're in danger, our cortisol and/or adrenaline levels surge to help divert bloodflow to the big muscles that will help us fight an opponent or flee from a predator. These are stress hormones that have top-down control over several systems in our bodies, and slight fluctuations in their levels move dials all over the place. They work in conjunction with an elegant switching mechanism in our nervous system. Our sympathetic nervous system drives the fight-or-flight reactions and quickly helps triage energy to where we need it in times of crisis. The opposite side of this switch is the parasympathetic nervous system, which can be considered the "rest and digest" mode where the body is free to heal, break down foods, and carry out detoxification and excretion. In times of danger, the body is designed to elegantly pull bloodflow from the internal organs, immune system, and parts of the brain that are associated with high cognition and drive that blood into the quadriceps so we can run like hell if we need to. It's great stuff when the shit hits the fan, but let's peel back Robert's life and see why this is bad news for a modern lawyer.

Robert's stress is not from an acute incident. Sure, occasionally the car in the next lane swerves over and gets his heart rate (and middle finger) up, but that's not what's killing him. It is the chronic stress. A wild impala in Africa doesn't think about the "what if" scenarios of a lion charging. He eats, cruises around, has plenty of sex, and if a threat shows up, he runs for it. If he survives, he shakes it out and goes back to his business. Not us. We keep replaying the event in our minds, bind it to emotions, and visualize it running in different ways; we don't drop it. The impala has moved on, but we're in therapy still talking about it or, worse, still bottling it up. We don't really get into "rest and digest" mode enough to balance these systems out, so we stay wound up.

Chronic stress is a killer.

Robert has mini "life or death" moments every time a client threatens to cancel or a judge throws out a case. His wife came home with a fancy purse the other day, and it turned his stomach. "How much did that cost?"

These modern stressors are basically death by a thousand cuts. Our abstract concept of money or currency is tied to our very survival and triggers the same circuitry. It messes with us and stresses us out. Money is tight, and deep down that means something that our bodies understand viscerally. Low levels of cortisol release over a sustained period of time have terrible consequences for the body. You can say that Robert lives in sympathetic overdrive and has forgotten how to switch back over and chill out. With the body constantly cutting bloodflow to vital systems, here's some of the predictable fallout.

Restricting Energy to the Immune System

A body that's under constant stress is like a country at war, and all the money, troops, and resources are being sent to the front lines (stressful fight-or-flight pathways). Who's left to police the streets? How do you deal with local gangs and terror cells? You can't. They sneak in, take hold, and then manifest as disease. By the time you call back troops from the front lines, the damage is done and you need to spend much more energy to fix it.

The problem is not one of poor design. The human immune system is amazing. It is an elaborate universe that helps us recognize objects that don't belong in our bodies and get rid of them. When things are running smoothly, it is a marvel to witness the precision and efficiency of our immune system. But most people in the modern world are suffering from the consequences of compromised immunity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) attributes stress as the cause of 90 percent of chronic disease. This is huge. Robert is doomed to get some nasty chronic disease once his system gets weak enough. It is just a matter of time.

The problem is Robert's life.

Every day, Robert unwittingly does things that draw resources away from his immune system and make it more difficult for his body to maintain balance. After some time, things will break and he will get sick.

Cutting Energy to the Digestive System and Internal Organs

When the body gets a signal telling it that a lion is coming, it draws blood from the viscera (internal organs) and drives it to the muscles that can hopefully help us survive the "attack." When this happens, the organs take a hit. Bloodflow is diminished to the organs as it is shunted to the big "get me the hell out of here" muscles. This cuts the energy and nutrients delivered to the vital organs. Think of it like a wartime economy. There's no money left for school books, street repair, or food stamps.

When the digestive tract gets energy pulled from it regularly, we start to see issues with poor absorption, nutrient deficiencies, constipation or loose stools, indigestion, bloating, fatigue, and eventually leaky gut "syndrome." (I'll explain this later in the book.) "Rest and digest" is where we heal, but what happens when we don't allow ourselves to go there? Look around you. There's a trillion-dollar healthcare industry that makes money off of chronic diseases that stem from poor lifestyle and uncontrolled stress.

Causing a Blood Sugar Roller Coaster

When cortisol levels go up, all sorts of things happen. As mentioned earlier, bloodflow is directed to the "get me the hell out of here" muscles, but there's also a huge impact on blood sugar.

Cortisol is like a credit card.

In a crisis situation, the body needs energy immediately, so cortisol is like swiping a card to get instant gratification. It helps the body to draw energy from our glycogen reserves in the liver for our immediate needs, but that has some serious consequences. As blood sugar initially surges, the pancreas senses this and releases insulin to grab this sugar and shuttle it into the cells. This is all good, except when things start to fall off the tracks. After years of being on this cortisol energy roller coaster, the insulin spike often overshoots the sugar (energy) release, which then triggers us to get hungry and crave more sugar or carbs in order to balance it out. This can manifest in moodiness, irritability, headaches, and general fatigue; it often leaves us reaching for some coffee to bail us out of an energy lull. Maybe that muffin will help . . . We'll discuss the role of adrenaline in this craziness later in the sleep chapter.

Most people have so many ups and downs with this that they feel like they're spent by midday Tuesday and are already dreaming of the weekend.

Wreaking Havoc on the Endocrine System

I've had dozens of elite athletes come to my clinic and secretly admit that they can't get erections anymore. Cortisol is often the reason why. These athletes burn out their adrenals with chronic elevated stress, and it eventually draws on their testosterone, estrogen, DHEA, and several other hormonal pathways. Robbing Peter to pay Paul seems to be the way of our modern era, and it is surely reflected in our bodies. Today, guys like our friend Robert borrow energy from tomorrow to get through today, but they don't look at the interest rate on that kind of deal. It sucks. Maybe you can bang through your thirties, but then you hit a wall and your body goes on strike. Once our hormones are off, we gain weight, drag around with fatigue, and take a hit in the bedroom . . . sorry, sorry, give me a minute . . .

Of course, there are drugs we can take for all of these issues, but the root is often bad energy economics stemming from our adrenal burn rate. The drugs often have side effects, and the underlying problem tends to persist.

Taking a Hit to the Brain

Possibly the worst on the list of things that happen when we're chronically stressed is the cutting off of bloodflow to the prefrontal cortex. This is the part of our brains that separates us from the monkeys. It helps us carry out abstract thinking, problem solving, higher cognition, and higher moral reasoning. It's the part of the brain that helps with the negation of impulses. This area is called the third eye in the ancient traditions and should be cultivated and cherished. The problem is that the body's switching system knows that this part of the brain is not needed to scramble up a tree as a rhino is charging, so it diverts blood and energy to the hindbrain, which helps with instant reflexive behavior. Again, the body's impulse is "get me out of here or tear through that guy who's trying to take my stuff."

On the off chance that you encounter a lion in Chicago, that's pretty handy. It also helps you to dive to a curb when a taxi doesn't see you crossing, but chronic misallocation of energy to the fight-or-flight brain keeps us reactive, distrustful, less empathic, and unable to make long- term, thoughtful decisions. Higher moral reasoning is what really made us what we are. Religion, ethics, honor, and self-awareness all come from this good gray matter, and our inability to use it is a tragedy. Most people live in "survival mode" and can relate. It is also a reason why so many people do things that harm them despite knowing better. We know that smoking isn't good for us, but many still do it. We understand that the pie is fattening, yet we eat it anyway. We tell ourselves that our exes are trouble, yet we find ourselves calling them again. Without good access to the prefrontal cortex, we're not using the part of our brains that empowers us to suppress impulses that harm our bodies. Living in chronic stress keeps us locked out of this area of our brains and drives us to be more impulsive and unaware.

PERSONAL JOURNEYS

When I came back from the Himalayas, I decided to take on the health-care crisis with my exuberant energy and charged sense of mission. I thought that I could fix a broken system from within, so I started a medical group and quickly grew it to three offices. We were featured in journals for our innovations in complementary medicine and were getting cool accolades, but I knew it was bullshit. Essentially, my training was in the prevention and prediction of disease, and here I was in a business model that required me to wait for someone to break and come in with a diagnosable illness. I kept trying to find work-arounds within this messy system and constantly dealt with insurance companies holding our money. There was an immense amount of stress, and it really put my meditation skills to the test.

##### Total Game Changer

Pedram,I have never in my life written a book review and it's probably been ten years since I sat down and explored a text that wasn't required for school. However, you have awakened the person I lost in all the modern day bulls\*\*\*. I'm sure you get thousands of people telling you everyday how awesome your book is - but it has changed my life. After leaving an abusive and toxic relationship five years ago, I have been struggling ever since to relieve myself of stress and anxieties. I work two jobs in a hospital that are 12 hour shifts just to make ends meet and on my few off hours, I am usually next to my kids plugged into something. I lost the girl who loved to cook, hike and kayak somewhere in there. I lost the girl who was sure of her direction. I recently got into nursing school and find myself facebooking those who are successful wondering if I can even succeed at it even though it is my passion. I help cure people for a living, emotionally and physically. Even while I'm small on the ladder now, that is pretty damn awesome. Thank you for reminding me to step back and thank God for my health, my time and my continued journey toward success. Thank you for introducing me to practices that can remind me to remain stress/drama free if I incorporate them into my life consistently. Thank you for putting your knowledge into print for people like me to stumble upon. Thank you, thank you."She is reinforced by life and nature as her exuberance and enthusiasm radiate from within."

I have read the book twice now. After the first reading, I got a few practical tips on how to re-prioritize my life to accomplish the things that are truly important to me. But the real breakthroughs happened when I did the Qi Gong exercises he posted online in the resources. Once I did those daily, I noticed immediately that I was calmer and had less stress each day. After a month I had gone from having daily high anxiety to zero anxiety. I am not exaggerating. The people whose stories he describes in each chapter will be familiar to you because they are how virtually everyone lives their lives. Those people improved as well, by also doing the work Pedram gave them. Doing work is not popular advice, so if you are likely to read the book and move on without even attempting the exercises or the changes he suggests, you probably won't get much from it. But if you do the work, you will notice real improvements in your health life. If you think you don't have time to add these exercises to your busy life, the great news is Pedram gives you tons of practical advice to be more productive throughout your day. Once you make those changes, you will have 15 minutes daily for some Qi Gong.

After reading the book the second time, I committed to trying even more of the exercises, and I realized there is significant wisdom in this book. Much more than was apparent the first time through. The exercises such as rooting energy down through the earth or heart meditation may seem simple, but they work wonders as well. Do not skip over those.

Highly recommended.

This is a fantastic book for anyone wanting to better their life (mentally, physically, spiritually) but are intimidated by the very idea of it. The techniques and "hacks" Dr. Shojai espouses are put forth in a way that makes them easily applicable for anyone, regardless of a person's experience with meditation, yoga, exercise, dieting, whatever! He gives very simple and specific instructions on ways to solve many of modern life's problems, and does so with examples and how-to's that literally ANYONE can follow. He writes the book the way people actually talk, as if you're simply hearing someone you know give scientifically-backed and philosophically-sound advice. What's more, Pedram's hacks actually work! The resource section for each chapter alone is easily worth ten times the asking price for the entire book, complete with links to instructional videos, recipes, herbal lists, and MUCH more. Really, he's included everything you'd need to teach your goals.

The book is broken down by chapters, each devoted to a specific area of modern life; you can still read the book cover-to-cover for an extensive, in-depth lesson on how to get yourself back to where you need to be, or get yourself to a place you never thought you could be on your own!

Better than ANY self-help book I've ever read. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed reading this book. I've adopted several of the techniques discussed in this book (pomodoro technique, barefoot walking, going by candlelight at night, etc.), and feel like it has helped improve my inner peace and overall relationship with life. Each chapter starts out with a description of one of his clients and the struggles they were encountering in their life. The rest of the chapter goes on to explain various techniques that can be used to deal with the problems mentioned through Urban Monk Wisdom, Modern Hacks, etc. Also scattered throughout the chapters are blocks of "Personal Journey" stories that the author experienced. I didn't really find these useful and they often showed up in weird places on the pages that made following the sentences difficult.

Initially I had a hard time getting through the first chapter or so, because the author talked about themself quite a bit and in a fashion that seemed arrogant to me. This doesn't last throughout the book, but may be something that stops people from reading the book further. There are also some suggestions thrown in about taking different types of supplements, drinking kombucha, etc. The author does suggest consulting with a medical professional throughout some of these suggestions, but someone who is misinformed may take his advice without talking to a doctor and end up getting sick. I would encourage everyone to do their own research on the health benefit claims the things he suggests throughout the book have and talk to their doctor before starting any of them.

Overall, this is a positive book and is full of encouraging advice everyone can use to improve their life. If you go in to it with an open mind and do your own research on the claims made, you will enjoy this book.

This is such a useful book. I highly recommend it.

First, this book breaks each chapter down into three/four basic sections. It starts with a story (based off real life examples he has gone through, but slightly changed to protect his original patients), then it talks about the problem, transitions into the solution, then concludes by going back to the original story, and discussing the changes the person took and how it affected them in the end.

The flow of the sections are great for people like me. I love the nitty gritty details of what are the good and bad things to do. But it really helps to have a real life example to actually understand it on a different level. The days during and after I read this book, I would often find similarities of my life to those in the stories, then I would remember how they changed those issues in the story. It made it really easy to remember what changes I need to do to better myself in this hectic world.

The book offers many suggestions, such as meditation techniques, teas to drink, supplements you can take etc. I have so many book marks in this book saving each of the useful suggestions. This book is extremely helpful for people who are stressed out, tired, or just feel they can't quite catch up. I personally don't have those specific issues, but the book was still very helpful for mild personal growths.

A refreshing, no-nonsense look at what in our current world is having a negative impact on our well being and how to change our personal environment in 'doable' ways. I will be reading it again and implementing many of the suggestions.

I just love this book. Of course you have to do the exercises and be self-disciplined, but Dr Shojai's style is so positive yet realistic and the book really supports me through an important phase of my life. I highly recommended this book for people who are tired of bs and want to develop life skills to be integrated into daily life. Great internet support through Dr Shojai's webpage.

I am really enjoying this practical, down to earth, treasure trove of delight. I started thinking there wasn't much I could learn but seeing as I'm not even half way through yet I am amazed that Pedram has blown that concept right out of the water. Okay, some of the info is basic and suited to people who are just starting out on their journey of self discovery, but that makes it all the more a wholesome read. So much to learn here and all presented in a 21C way. The fact that there is so much good free content on his web site is setting the bar high for anyone who wants to follow Pedram's footsteps. Buy it. No, buy 5 copies and give them as presents. Well worth it.
