An indispensable guide to the key role your brain plays in processing chronic pain, and the small, simple actions that can make profound changes in how you experience it.

Using the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy, you'll try one new evidence-based strategy each day for 30 days, from paced breathing and healthy sleep hacks to mindful walking and acts of kindness. The ones that work best will go into your Thriving Plan, a personalized pain-management tool kit that you design to help you lead a life with less pain, greater purpose, and more joy.

Chronic Pain Reset will help you evaluate your pain and its triggers, offering straightforward and often fun strategies to improve it.
