Nobody does stress reduction like Jordan Friedman. He combines his remarkable stress survival story with 20 years of speaking, writing and research to motivate and teach audiences to deal productively with challenge, change and crisis. His unique emphasis on practical strategies that simultaneously reduce stress and promote professional and academic advancement resonates with anyone who wants to ace interviews, shine among peers, maximize performance or just feel better.
Jordan is the author of The Stress Manager’s Manual, and you may already know him as a voice of 'Alice,' the first online source of straightforward answers to questions about stress, sex and other wellness topics on Columbia University’s acclaimed Go Ask Alice website. As longtime director of Columbia’s health education program, Jordan penned hundreds of Internet and newspaper columns on everything from muscular relaxation to bedtime communication, and he co-authored the popular Go Ask Alice Book Of Answers. His work has been quoted and promoted by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur, CNN, National Public Radio and O Magazine among others.
Jordan's dedication to sustained stress reduction also drives his Stressbusters program, a continuous outreach magnet that now connects nearly 200,000 students and staff with stress reduction and wellness information at Harvard, St. John's, the University of Missouri and other schools. Stressbusters was also voted one of the three best entrepreneurial business ideas of 2009.
Jordan studied stress management education at the University of Maryland, followed by a master’s degree in public health from New York University. When he’s not on the road, Jordan lives, works and manages his own stress in New York City.

“I was so impressed. I am one of those people adjusting from a full-time job to working at home. I found Jordan’s comments on this transition particularly validating.”
“I would recommend Jordan’s program to anyone. Not only did he offer useful information and techniques, he was extremely compassionate and empathetic. Incidentally, after the final relaxation exercise, my stress dot indicated that I was calm.”
