PRAISE FOR STRESS NATION

"Justin's insightful book highlights how stress is no longer limited to teenagers but affects people of all ages, largely due to our addiction to technology. He skillfully identifies how our dependency on smartphones has created a significant imbalance in the way we manage our lives. Technology has become essential to our daily routines, creating a reliance that disrupts our natural balance. What's remarkable is that, instead of merely pointing out the problem, Justin took action and launched a company to help solve it--making a real difference in people's lives."
--PATRICK HOPF, Founder, Board Member and former CEO of Sleep Number Beds

"A compassionate, clear-eyed, and practical guide to finding and keeping calm in an increasingly demanding and chaotic world."
--JO LAWSON, CEO, LUUM, Inc. and Former Apple Inc. Executive

In Stress Nation: Escape the Technology Trap, Eliminate Stress, and Reclaim Rest, serial entrepreneur Justin Hai exposes the invisible but devastating toll that modern technology has taken on our minds, bodies, and relationships. From sleepless nights to chronic anxiety and emotional disconnection, the symptoms are everywhere--and they're no accident.

Blending hard science with sharp cultural commentary, Hai explains how our cortisol-driven stress response is being hijacked by screen addiction, digital overload, and algorithms engineered to keep us hooked. But this isn't just a wake-up call--it's a lifeline. Inside, you'll discover a clear, evidence-based roadmap to rebalance your hormones, improve your sleep, restore focus, and reconnect with yourself and others.

Equal parts eye-opening and empowering, Stress Nation offers a practical tool kit for anyone ready to break free from the digital grind and build a life rooted in real connection, rest, and resilience.

A provocative deep dive into how technology is wrecking our hormones and our health--and the powerful tools you need to reclaim your well-being and thrive.

Stress Nation provides answers to the lingering questions many people have about why they constantly feel tired, lonely, anxious, disconnected, and unwell, explaining in both humorous and poignant prose how the technology that was supposed to make our lives easier is actually one of the leading causes of chronic stress, dysregulated cortisol, and dangerously inadequate sleep. Equal parts commentary and practical guide, this book offers solutions that empower readers to manage their stress, improve their sleep, and implement scientifically supported methods to break the cycle of device addiction.

In this book, readers will discover:

• How cortisol--the Master Hormone and your body's overworked alarm system--can become dangerously imbalanced, ruin your health, and leave you feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.
• How Silicon Valley went for your attention instead of your well-being - and how that's warped the way we sleep, date, parent, and even think.
• Practical, empowering ways to unplug, reconnect, and start living like a human again - not a device-controlled zombie.

Stress Nation is both your wake-up call and game plan that delivers on its promise of a clearer mind, healthier body, and better life.
