The Urgent Need for Stress Regulation in India
India ranked 126th out of 146 countries in the 2024 World Happiness Report—lower than all its neighboring nations. Around 77% of Indians had shown at least one symptom of stress. These statistics caused Dr. Anuja to take action to equip individuals to fight this invisible epidemic. The book is a perfect blend of theory and application, providing an overview of the biological reasoning behind our stress responses and dedicated activities for unique stress behaviors.“Stress clouds your vision. Regulate it, and you’ll feel better, make better decisions, and spark a ripple of clarity, empathy, and authenticity that can transform families, communities, and nations.” said Dr Anuja Luniya, urging us to understand the importance of stress regulation.
