New York, NY (Oct. 10, 2023) – Harvard physician/stress expert, nationally sought after speaker, and television correspondent Dr. Aditi Nerurkar, announces her debut book, “The 5 Resets: Rewire Your Brain and Body for Less Stress and More Resilience.” Releasing Jan. 16, 2024, and available now for preorder, the highly-anticipated title is a reimagined approach to overcoming stress and burnout using five small but mighty mindset shifts.

In “The 5 Resets,” Dr. Nerurkar offers a total mindset shift about stress and five bite-sized, yet actionable resets to implement into our everyday lives – powerful pillars of wisdom that bring together physiological and psychological coping skills and enable readers to cope when things get hard.

Drawing on years of experience, Dr. Nerurkar has developed research-backed techniques to combat everyday stress. Says Dr. Nerurkar, “The way I wrote ‘The 5 Resets’ is the result of the 300-some TV segments I’ve done where I was able to take complex research and distill it down into short, impactful minute long segments.” 

Dr. Nerurkar states that the common misperception of stress as “bad” needs reframing. “Stress is a healthy biological phenomenon that helps us tackle life’s many demands,” she says. “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 the following five science-backed mindset shifts, rooted in more than two decades of clinical experience:

The First Reset: Get Clear on What Matters Most
The Second Reset: Find Quiet in a Noisy World
The Third Reset: Sync Your Brain and Your Body
The Fourth Reset: Come Up for Air
The Fifth Reset: Bring Your Best Self Forward

In “The 5 Resets,” Dr. Nerurkar illuminates why 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 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). 

When talking or writing about stress and burnout, Dr. Nerurkar always strives to stoke optimism and leave people empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. “I truly believe that everyone has the power and ability to make positive shifts in their mental and physical health,” she says. “My job is to hold up the mirror so they can see that for themselves.”

She adds, “I hope this book serves as a roadmap to change your relationship with stress, bring your biology back into balance, and feel calmer right now.”
