How we handle stress affects our lives; it may even affect the length of our lives. The authors of this monograph aim to show that coping with stress requires a radical but positive and healing change of lifestyle and attitude. Topics covered include how to meet the challenges of stress, and how to find the right solutions rather than the self-destructive ones. It offers practical advice on dealing with stress: life planning, taking breaks, managing time, living in the present, meditation and diet.
