SYNOPSIS: HOW TO MAKE STRESS WORK FOR YOU "Stress is the spice of life," says Dr. Selye. Without it you would be a vegetable--or dead. Then why can stress be destructive, causing ulcers, heart disease, and so many other ailments of modern society? To those and other vital questions about health and survival, Dr. Selye, a world renowned, pioneering biological scientist, offers answers based on a lifetime of observing the wisdom of the body. He explains the physiological mechanisms of stress and gives specific advice for avoiding the type of stress that is harmful. DR. SELYE TELLS YOU: What to do if you're stymied by a problem; Why procrastination is dangerous; How to enjoy leisure; Why aimlessness causes distress; Why your work should be your joyful play; How work, stress, and aging relate; How to use selfishness to gain love and goodwill. - and - STRESS IS NOT SOMETHING TO BE AVOIDED The only way to avoid stress would be to do nothing at all. Virtually all human activity involves stress--from a game of backgammon to a passionate embrace. But this can be defined as the stress of pleasure, challenge, fulfillment. What we all want is the right kind of stress for the right length of time--at a level that is best for us. Excessive or unvaried stress, particularly frustration, becomes distress. And this, in turn, can lead to ulcers, hypertension, and mental or physical breakdown. In this marvelously wise and helpful book, Dr. Hans Selye, the world's leading authority on stress, gives us his prescription for minimizing the psychic insults to the nervous system, mobilizing stress for creative and idealistic purposes, and enjoying a full life in harmony with the laws of Nature. Hans Selye, M.D., Professor and Director of the Institute of Experimental Medicine and Surgery in the University of Montreal, is best known for his work on the body's physiological response to stress, the major subject of his almost forty years of laboratory research. In addition to his doctorate in medicine, Dr. Selye holds two earned doctorates in science plus sixteen honorary degrees from universities in Europe, South America, Japan, Canada, and the United States. He has contributed over 1400 articles to technical journals and written 28 books, including The Stress of Life, a classic and widely acclaimed study. Dr. Selye has received numerous medals, awards, and Honorary Fellowships from scientific societies throughout the world, and has been made a Companion of the Order of Canada, his country's highest honor.
