Dr. Aditi Nerurkar is a Harvard stress expert, nationally sought-after speaker & television correspondent helping you reset your stress and burnout in the new normal.
Her highly-anticipated book “The 5 Resets” is an accessible health-meets-self-help guide offering a reimagined approach to overcoming stress and burnout using five small but mighty mindset shifts.
It was named a “must-read” by Adam Grant and Malcolm Gladwell’s Next Big Idea Club and “best new book” by the New York Post. It has also been featured in the New York Times, NPR, Times of London and endorsed by Harrison Ford, Katie Couric, Arianna Huffington and Eve Rodsky.
For Dr. Nerurkar, the common misperception of stress as “bad” needs reframing. Stress is a healthy biological phenomenon that helps us tackle life’s many demands. It becomes problematic when it’s out of tune with the frequency of our lives, resulting in burnout, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and many other physical symptoms. To bring stress back to healthy levels, Dr. Nerurkar offers her five science-backed mindset shifts, rooted in over two decades of clinical experience, for when life gets hard.
Dr. Nerurkar illuminates why our everyday attempts at being “resilient”—like multitasking, sleeping less, and undergoing huge lifestyle overhauls—aren’t beneficial to our stressed brains. Instead, she prescribes practical, real-world solutions for our modern-day perils that are time efficient, cost-free, and can be applied to anyone’s life, including following the Resilience Rule of 2 (making no more than two changes at a time because doing more is unsustainable), accepting that multitasking is a myth (our brains are wired to do one thing at a time!), and adopting her Bookend Method (creating boundaries to honor our brain’s need for compartmentalization). The five mindset shifts, along with fifteen proven techniques, offer you a road map to change your relationship with stress, bring your biology back into balance, and feel calmer right now.
Dr. Nerurkar’s work has appeared in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, The Oprah Magazine, and the Atlantic. She is on faculty at Harvard Medical School and a keynote speaker, with recent talks at the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit, Harvard Business School Women’s Conference, and numerous multinational Fortune 50 companies.
Dr. Nerurkar was recently named “100 Women to Know in America” for her impactful work in stress and mental health.
