This handy pocket-sized guide will definitely increase your stress literacy!

This is part of the Barron's Business Success Series, which include: Creative Problem Solving, Increasing Your Memory Power, Time Management, which I also own & have read in the early 90's. Each title is in fact a pocket-sized book, just above 100 pages, but jam-packed with practical, useful advice. Each is also written in plain language. In this particular volume, the author shows you, through three case studies, how to take effective action to conquer your stressors, whether they are internal or external. The chapters are systematically laid out as follows: PART I: GETTING TO KNOW THE ENEMY 1. Stress Today 2. Stress Hurts You Whether You Know It or Not 3. Four Things that shape Your Stress 4. Hard Work Never Killed Anybody but Stress has PART II: MAKING FRIENDS WITH THE ENEMY 5. The Plan of Attack 6. How to Achieve "Stress Success" in Your Job 7. Stress Conquering Skills 8. Nine External Stress Conquering Skills & Tips 9. Five Internal Stress Conquering Skills 10. Psychological Skills for Conquering Stress I concur with the author's premise: "...However, everyone concurs that the sense or feeling of being out of control is always distressful. Often, this is due to faulty perceptions that we can learn to correct." According to the Institute of HeartMath, the problem of stress could be reduced to two basic causes: * problems in perception * problems in communication According to them: "Stress is an inharmonious energy or experience that results from our inefficient mental or emotional perceptions and responses to people, places, issues, or events in life." This concise presentation provides the innovative tools that will help you conquer stress so you can become more productive, more fulfilled, & enjoy an all-round higher quality lifestyle. In conclusion, this is definitely a handy guide for increasing your stress literacy.
