As a best selling author, TV host and global beauty and wellness expert, much of my career has been spent determining the best ways to look younger naturally. It turns out that many of the techniques I recommend to achieve younger looking skin, also reduce stress and the impacts of stress on the body. Having spent more than 30 years in the fashion and beauty industry I can say with absolute certainty that when it comes to the way we age; how we look cannot be separated from how we feel.

Stop Stress Fast: 12 Quick, Proven Stress Relief Techniques to Help You Feel Good Everyday
By
Gregory Landsman
What is my book about?
Stress impacts our quality of life & prematurely ages the skin!
Managing stress has been a daily part of my life since my early thirties. At this time I looked ten years older than my age and was close to a breakdown from stress, overwork, and unresolved childhood emotional issues. The stress that I felt on a daily basis was impacting the quality of my relationships, my business, my health, and my state of mind.
My quality of life and my health depended on making real and lasting changes, and this started me on a journey to explore how I could manage stress day-to-day so I could live more peacefully, have more energy, and look and feel healthy. Stop Stress Fast shows how to use the power of breath and food to reduce stress, counteract the wrinkle-causing hormone, and take years off the face! It is a book for anyone who is serious about reducing stress in their lives and would like to feel calmer and take years off the face at the same time.
"When we actively make a decision to reduce stress, we nurture the body, mind and spirit, and what previously felt ordinary becomes extraordinary, as we begin to recognise that our external world only changes when we make changes to our internal world."

The Books I Picked & Why
The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
By
Eckhart Tolle
Why this book?
One of the greatest benefits of breathwork is its ability to calm the mind by remaining present. The teachings in the Power of Now complement this approach. It is a wonderful, well-written book that supports readers to understand the benefits of training the mind to stay focussed and in ‘the now’. This helps the reader find ways to manage the thought patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety. A book I found genuinely insightful on my own path to manage stress.

You Can Heal Your Life
By
Louise Hay
Why this book?
The first self-help book I ever read was You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. This book literally changed my life and how I saw myself. It gave me a new belief in what I could achieve and most importantly, it showed me that I could take back control of my life. For the first time, I became aware that everything I felt on a daily basis was something that could be changed if I was willing to see myself differently.

Love Is Letting Go of Fear
By
Gerald G. Jampolsky,
Jack Keeler
Why this book?
When I first read this book decades ago it was a revelation, showing me that there are only two core emotions in life – ‘love’ and ‘fear’ – and which one we choose to feel will determine our quality of life and day to day experiences. This book was paramount in my understanding that addressing the stress we feel, (that eventually sits on our faces), is often much simpler than we think it is. A great read that I highly recommend for understanding our thought processes and how we can learn to feel happier.

A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "a Course in Miracles"
By
Marianne Williamson
Why this book?
About 30 years ago, one of my agents gave me a copy of the book A Course in Miracles. I was working in the fashion and beauty industry in Europe and it seemed like an odd choice for her to gift to me. But once again it was the right book at the right time for me, that showed me so much about life and purpose. A Return to Love is based on the principles in A Course of Miracles. It highlights so beautifully how we can approach concepts that are critical to our ability to live a happy, stress-free life. One of the most memorable of these for me is the power of forgiveness.
