Understanding Stress in the Modern Context

  • Dealing with stress is imperative as it is unavoidable in modern life.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
