Dr. Stephen Middleton, a former professor at Mississippi State University, has released his debut book titled Break Free from Emotional Distress: A Practical Guide and Personal Journey. Drawing from decades of academic experience and personal reflection, Middleton offers readers a look into how he managed emotional hardship throughout his life and career.
The book combines practical mental health strategies with personal stories drawn from Middleton’s own journey—from growing up in South Carolina to earning academic honors at Cambridge University, and teaching at institutions across four continents. Through his narrative, readers gain insight into how he learned to cope with emotional challenges, including moments of crisis that led to emergency room visits, as well as ongoing stress in high-pressure professional settings.
In Break Free from Emotional Distress, Middleton shares how literature, mentorship, and resilience shaped his approach to emotional well-being. While written with academic care, the book remains accessible and grounded in real-life experiences. It speaks to readers navigating their own difficulties, whether personal, professional, or emotional.
“This work is more than a survival guide—it’s a roadmap to thriving,” Middleton said in a statement. “It’s written by someone who has walked the road from trauma to stability and growth.”
The tone of the book is both instructive and empathetic, offering practical tools and reflective insights for those seeking to better understand and manage emotional distress. Rather than positioning himself as an expert removed from his readers, Middleton speaks as someone who has faced similar struggles, offering lessons learned along the way.
Dr. Middleton is widely known for his contributions to U.S. constitutional history and has spent over 40 years teaching at leading research universities. With this book, he turns his focus toward human development and emotional wellness, areas he believes are essential for a well-rounded life.
Break Free from Emotional Distress is now available for purchase on Amazon.
