Description

When life becomes overwhelming and our coping mechanisms fail, we reach our breaking point. Health psychologist Vincent Deary has spent years helping his patients navigate such challenges, and in this book, he offers a compassionate guide to understanding the science behind breaking.

Deary draws on clinical case studies, scientific research, personal stories, and references from philosophy, literature, and film to show how our minds and bodies can become dysregulated when we're struggling to cope. By exploring the wear and tear of life, he helps us understand why we break, and how we can find a way through difficult times.

With a focus on rest and recuperation, How We Break provides a new vision for everyday human struggle. This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to better navigate their own struggles with burnout, stress, fatigue, and despair.
