"The Wedge: Evolution, Consciousness, Stress, and the Key to Human Resilience" by Scott Carney explores how individuals can take control of their physiological responses to stress. Carney examines methods such as breathwork, exposure to extreme environments, and sensory training to build resilience and adaptability. Through personal experiments, he illustrates how creating space between stimulus and reaction can enhance mental and physical strength. Learning these techniques may help readers develop greater control over stress and improve overall well-being.
