About this title

From the Author

How to cope with the stress of daily life
Traffic jams. Child-rearing. Financial woes. Too many demands, not enough time. The pace of life often leaves us overwhelmed, psychologically distressed, worn out, and, quite frequently, ill.

It needn't be that way. This book can help.

For 12 years, I followed 1,200 persons to see who among them coped well with stress. I then developed the Project SMART program, for the rest of us to learn these adaptive coping skills. The result is the basic principles needed for good mental and physical health in today's world - principles presented in ways that allow you to make informed choices about what's best for you. Included are healthy lifestyle choices; help on how to make relationships work; planning strategies for important financial decisions over a lifetime; and ways to understand and obtain love.

Self-assessment stress questionnaires and realization exercises are included in this reader-friendly, nontechnical guide.

This is news you can use! Practical hands-on advice for the life that you seek and deserve. - The Author

"BECOMING STRESS-RESISTANT shows that it is possible to manage stress so that you can lead a healthy, productive life despite the physical and mental stress of modern society." - THE HARTFORD COURANT
