Description

“Original, exceptional, and fully accessible for the non-specialist general reader with an interest in aging/longevity and emotional healing from life's inevitable stresses." —Midwest Book Review

Achieve better emotional, mental, and spiritual health with this accessible field guide, based on thirty years of research with professionals in some of the world’s most demanding fields.

With so many competing voices, how do you know what’s for real, what’s just a trend, and what will actually be helpful for you? Drawing on data collected from more than ten thousand people across twenty-five countries, psychologist Matt Bloom distills decades of research into clear, science-backed strategies for coping with the stress, burnout, and anxiety in our increasingly demanding world.

Explore dozens of practices to help you build a tailored wellness tool kit that will empower you to:
  • Boost resilience and cognitive flexibility with exercises like conscious disobedience or strategic self-distancing
  • Reengage your focus in positive, meaningful activities through mental tricks like willpower workouts or mental contrasting
  • Uphold your core convictions through dedicated practices like drafting a table of contents for your autobiography
  • Cultivate daily calm and release stress through walking meditation or breathing exercises
  • Create joy by learning to more intentionally savor moments of wonder and pleasure


Today, prioritizing self-care can take many forms. Lasting Wellbeing isn’t a one-size-fits-all wellness approach—it’s a repository of time-tested, easy-to-adopt mental health practices, and a guide to finding your individual path to true wellbeing.
