Drawing from groundbreaking research, psychologist and award-winning teacher Kelly McGonigal, PhD, offers a surprising new view of stress--one that reveals the upside of stress, and shows us exactly how to capitalize on its benefits.

You hear it all the time: stress causes heart disease; stress causes insomnia; stress is bad for you But what if changing how you think about stress could make you happier, healthier, and better able to reach your goals? Combining exciting new research on resilience and mindset, Kelly McGonigal, PhD, proves that undergoing stress is not bad for you; it is undergoing stress while believing that stress is bad for you that makes it harmful. In fact, stress has many benefits, from giving us greater focus and energy, to strengthening our personal relationships.

McGonigal shows readers how to cultivate a mindset that embraces stress, and activate the brain's natural ability to learn from challenging experiences. Both practical and life-changing, The Upside of Stress is not a guide to getting rid of stress, but a toolkit for getting better at it--by understanding, accepting, and leveraging it to your advantage.

Chic and simple

When fully unfolded this is a great room divider. Folded up, it does not stand well on its own. I had some issues upon arrival and the seller took care of it for me, just somewhat slowly. These are pricey for how the quality feels, but it gets the job done as a privacy screen for the office area in our apartment.

Very nice for the price! Don’t regret buying it

Better than I thought. I bought it for my remote job and it blocks everything out perfectly. * Came pre-built (thank goodness), sturdy, & no tears/rips in the “fabric”. * Everything is in good shape. * Folds up nicely * Doesn’t tip over easily (you gotta put some force into it). * It’s not transparent, however, light does filter through and if someone is standing or walking close to the divider (like a few inches away from the divider) you can see a shadow/a figure. * I have a standing desk and it still covers everything (I’m 5’6” & my camera gets about to 6’4ish) Photos are of me sitting & standing and the dividers still covering my entire background minus my ceiling light fixture

Love it it was perfect for what I needed it for. Good quality!
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Black
It like a very dark chocolate brown/black. What I liked most about it is that you just pull it out of the box take the long plastic film off of it and it's ready to go. It has protective feet on the bottom. It's very attractive and it was so easy. It's so nice when you have a product you don't have to assemble.
