A Rutgers Psychologist and Zen Teacher Who Works With NFL Athletes Breaks Down How to Actually Reduce Stress

From The Advisor with Stacey Chillemi Stacey Chillemi

Dr. Peter Economou has spent his career at the intersection of two worlds that most people assume cannot coexist — the rigorous evidence-based science of cognitive behavioral therapy and the ancient wisdom of Zen Buddhism. As a board-certified psychologist, Rutgers University professor, certified mental performance consultant who works with NFL and NHL athletes, and author of the Mindfulness Workbook for Beginners he brings one of the most complete and clinically grounded frameworks for stress reduction available anywhere. What he shares with Stacey Chillemi about the daily habits that measurably reduce stress and anxiety, the mindfulness techniques that work even for people who have tried and failed at meditation before, and how achieving genuine inner balance requires addressing both the behavioral and the spiritual dimensions of your daily life will give you the most practically useful and intellectually credible stress reduction conversation you have encountered.
