It is thought that between 70 and 90 per cent of GP consultations are related to stress.
This has to change. Dr Rangan Chatterjee knows this better than anyone. As a practising GP he’s seen first-hand how stress affects his patients and has found simple but effective methods to help them.
Regarded as one of the most influential doctors in the UK, Dr Chatterjee wants to change how medicine will be practiced in years to come. He has been called a pioneer and is changing the way that we look at illness. He is known for finding the root cause of people’s problems and he highlighted his methods in the ground-breaking BBC TV show, Doctor in the House, which has been shown in more than 70 countries around the world.
Now he’s on a mission to show that combatting stress is easier than you think.
He shows how a small change in the way you approach your Body, Mind, Relationships and Purpose can help you lead a more fulfilled, calmer life.
Pairing the science of what happens in our brains and our bodies when we become stressed with personal accounts and patient cases, Dr Chatterjee provides easy to implement solutions for the whole spectrum of stressors we face on a daily basis.
“Within each pillar there are recommendations of how to de-stress,” he said. “You don’t have to do them all - there’s no expectation of perfection - but begin with one from each pillar.”
Here are simple and achievable interventions to help you re-set your life, offering simple tools for how to cope with modern-life and design your morning routine effectively.
Packed with personal accounts and patient cases, this book will become your blueprint on how to live stress-free in the modern world.

This number 1 best-seller remains at the top of the paperback fiction charts having sold two million copies:
What did she see? It’s been ten months since Anna Fox last left her home. Ten months during which she has haunted the rooms of her old New York house, lost in her memories, too terrified to step outside.
Anna’s lifeline to the real world is her window, where she sits, watching her neighbours. When the Russells move in, Anna is instantly drawn to them. A picture-perfect family, they are an echo of the life that was once hers.
But one evening, a scream rips across the silence, and Anna witnesses something horrifying. Now she must uncover the truth about what really happened. But if she does, will anyone believe her? And can she even trust herself?
MY FAVOURITE
READ OF THE WEEK
THE WONKY DONKEY, CRAIG SMITH, 9781407195575 (SCHOLASTIC)
BD3.400 for Gulf Weekly Book Club members.
This is the book behind the viral internet sensation of The Scottish Granny reading this story to her grandchild, viewed three million times.
Based on the popular song, The Wonky Donkey has sold over one million copies worldwide. Whoever heard of a spunky hanky-panky cranky stinky-dinky lanky honky-tonky winky wonky donkey?
When the scholastic representative showed me the YouTube clip of a grandmother reading this picture book to her grandson, we had to abandon our meeting for a tea-break as we couldn’t stop laughing.
A must for sitting with a young child on your lap!
