With his more than 30 years of experience as an endocrinologist, Dr Patwardhan realized how stress is one of the most important factors causing a plethora of diseases such as Diabetes, Metabolic syndrome, Ischaemic heart disease etc, and at the same time he became aware of the ignorance and lack of knowledge about the same. Since then, through various platforms, he has been trying to bring awareness amongst the general population regarding their own health and stress management. This book is one such endeavour.
