"The impact of stress in so many aspects of both physical and mental health is increasingly being recognised. Whatever our personality type it is worth us all spending some time to increase our understanding, both of the effects of stress and how to manage it. This book, and its companion Treating Stress With Relaxation, is a great help in doing this."
Of all the troubling menaces in the world, perhaps none is as common as stress. Everyone deals with a certain amount of stress. This cannot be helped. When it becomes overwhelming and sustained though, it can have very real physical and psychological consequences.
High and prolonged levels of stress are damaging to health, yet all too often stress as the cause of health issues, gets discounted or ignored.
The purpose of this book is to educate you about stress. You will learn how it affects your body's physiology, how it causes changes in your brain, and how it can damage your body. We will also look at the cycle of stress and how it flows through your brain and body.
Of course, stress is not always a bad thing. It does play an important positive role in our lives. The challenge we all face is not how to eliminate stress, but rather how to manage it better. This leads to a healthy body, a clear mind, and better overall quality of life.
