Calm in 90 Seconds: The Workplace Reset for Rude Emails, Sharp Tones, and Stress Spirals
Calm in 90 Seconds is a practical, workplace-focused guide for anyone who gets thrown off by rude emails, sharp tones, awkward meetings, or stress spirals that hijack your whole day.
If you've ever reread a message ten times, drafted (and deleted) the "perfect" reply, replayed a meeting for hours afterward, or felt your body react before your brain could think-this book gives you a simple reset you can use fast, quietly, and anywhere.
Inside you'll learn a clear 90-second method to regulate your nervous system, switch off the story spiral, and respond with calm confidence-without over-explaining, people-pleasing, snapping back, or carrying work stress home.
