Riassunto

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.

Contents include: an introduction; what is stress; mapping your stress; behavioural interventions e.g. time management; emotional interventions e.g. letting off steam; sensory interventions e.g. relaxation; imagery interventions e.g. coping imagery; cognitive interventions e.g. constructive thinking; interpersonal strategies e.g. assertion techniques and communication skills; biological interventions e.g. diet and exercise; social and family stress; occupational stress what it is and how to deal with it; dealing with a range of problems; public speaking; developing a personal action plan; a list of useful organisations and websites; further reading; references and an index.
