Stress: Living and Working in a Changing World

"Stress: Living and Working in a Changing World" is not just another book on stress. It is the only stress book you will ever need. This book is written for everyone caught up in the stress of living and working in a rapidly changing world. It provides insight and wisdom, techniques and strategy, and common sense approaches for dealing with the stress of daily living. Written in down-to-earth language and using real-life examples, complex concepts are easily understood. It is a small price for such a wealth of help - and all at your finger tips - in one volumn.

In the academic arena, some books offer sound intellectual insights; a few present a nuts and bolts approach to a problem. Dr. George Manning's newest book on stress is one of the rare volumes that offers both.A seasoned and respected psychologist, George Manning has the credentials that demand respect. He also has a way of relating sophisticated truths to the real world of the workplace. I highly recommend this book for company executives, for teachers, for clergypeople and for anyone else who must work with people who are in the state of "becoming." John McCollister, Ph.D.

"Stress: Living and Working in a Changing World" provides you with the techniques and the inspiration to take control of the stress in your life and make it work for you. The book takes time - it is not a how-to-eliminate-stress in five easy steps, which makes it all the more valuable. We didn't get "dis-stressed" in five easy steps; we will not get "de-stressed" in five easy steps. All the steps are here, plus a wealth of background information to understand the physiology and psychology involved. Read the parts you are ready for, but if you are stressed - and who isn't--you owe it to yourself to read this book.

"Stress: Living & Working in a Changing World was a revelation - the authors were talking about me on pg. 17 - tired, fatigued, stomach problems, exhaustion - stress was taking over my life! Reading this book helped me regain some balance. Yes, life's demand will go on (a given), but once I began incorporating the 1 x 3 x 7 = 21 plan at pg. 431 into my routine, the stress eased. Now, I have energy to revisit Chapters 10 (Know Thyself) & Chapter 11 (Integrity), and examine what I really want from my life. Some goals that had been gathering dust have now been given priority, and I feel recharged! This is a book that I will use again and again when life's stress begins to get the better of me. I will highly recommend "Stress: Living and Working in a Changing World" to my friends & to my colleagues. In this age of cyberspace and cyberspeed, the authors have given me a life saving tool. Thanks!

This book is a guide for life. I read it and will read it again and again. It reminds me of the comfort I feel when all wrapped up in my Grandmother's quilt. I recommend it for anyone who works in the world we are living in today. Practical, easy to apply tips for survival. Thanks for a guide to get through each day.
