Ultra Calm: A Six-Step Plan to Reduce Stress and Eliminate Anxiety

(Sounds True, January 2010)

The world can be a pretty stressful place. In Ultra Calm, Mark Hyman, MD, provides a series of guided meditations that not only help induce a calm and tranquil state of mind, but also explore the root causes of stress and anxiety so that you can identify and eliminate them from your life. The sessions include practical advice and implementation, with an introduction that describes the mind-body connection as a system. Individual meditations cover ways to recognize and reduce the causes of stress, accompanied by guided visualization and breathing exercises, specific yoga poses, dietary advice, ways to enhance sleep, and the importance of exercise in decreasing and controlling stress. Hyman, recognized as a leader in the field of functional medicine, was the co-medical director of Canyon Ranch in Lenox, Mass., and is the editor of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine. His books include The UltraMind Solution (Scribner, 2008), UltraMetabolism (Atria, 2008), and Ultraprevention: The 6-Week Plan That Will Make You Healthy for Life (Atria, 2005).
