Synopsis

Stress can wreck people's lives and health and those of their families at home. It is equally harmful at work, will seriously affect people's productivity and can also have disastrous effects on their colleagues and their work. The book fulfils a vital need. It is easy to read with short punchy chapters and helpful diagrams, which clearly explain what stress is and show how to remain relaxed when, for example, receiving a visit from the tax inspector or when speaking in public.

Synopsis

Stress management has become a popular phrase and methodology. Often courses and self-help books focus on one or two approaches to deal with stress: meditation or relaxation. Although these methods can be very beneficial, people are not always dealing with their stress levels in the most appropriate or effective way. Suitable for the general reader as well as the professional psychologist, this simple and practical book contains all the information needed to manage your stress and to live a more relaxed and enjoyable life.
