| Description: |
The world has been waiting for a book that provides the solutions to the problem of stress, and now it's here.
Every day we’re bombarded with stress, a cause of depression, schizophrenia, and other common mental disorders. And although many books have been published about this problem, most people continue to suffer from it on a daily basis. The reason is that we fail to understand it, and the reason we can't understand stress is that we associate it with the heart.
Stress is actually experienced in the brain. So by understanding how the brain works, we can find effective methods for dealing with stress. This book introduces such methods, which can be divided into two main types. The first is rhythmic movement, resulting in an increase in serotonin. The second method, which takes only a moment, is referred to as "crying life." Neither method is hard to implement?in fact, five minutes a day is all you need to deal with stress for the rest of your life.
This book is the beginning of a revolution in our understanding of stress. |

| From the editor: |
| We feel stress in a variety of situations, and of course we all deal with it in our own way whenever it arises. But it would be best if we were to become the kind of person who doesn't feel stress in the first place. This realization came as an enormous surprise to me. To achieve this change, we just need to use the techniques that eliminate stress. It only takes five minutes a day and simply requires a small change of consciousness within our daily life; we don't need to make any changes in the way we live to free ourselves of stress. The effect won't be immediate, but I can say that in the three months after I started editing this book, I strongly sensed that I was well on my way to creating a body that doesn't feel stress. |

| Author:Hideho Arita, M.D. |
|
| Dr. Arita was born in Tokyo in 1948. After graduating from the University of Tokyo School of Medicine, he conducted clinical work at the Tokai University Tokyo Hospital and carried out basic neuroscience research at the University of Tsukuba's Institute of Basic Medical Sciences before going abroad to study at the State University of New York. He has received wide recognition because of his theory that the functions of serotonin in the brain can explain the effect that zazen (meditation and breath control) has on the mind and body, establishing himself as a leading serotonin researcher. In recent years, he has promoted "serotonin training" as a way to help people with depression and anger issues regain their mental and physical health, placing him in high demand for magazine articles and television appearances. Dr. Arita himself practices serotonin training every morning without fail, and in his lab you can often hear Buddhist sutras being played in the background. His books include The Serotonin-Deficient Brain from NHK Publishing. |
