Description

Stress is not a generic thing, although it's always treated that way. Some people are really good at avoiding some stresses without realising that they are slaves to another kind. Elisabeth Wilson looks at all the sources - occupational, relationship, genetic and environmental - and reveals 52 clever techniques and ideas that focus on the causes rather than simply telling people how to deal with the symptoms. Here are some of the chapters to be discovered: admit your addiction; give a little, get a lot; too stressed to sleep?; and the 'stop and collapse' effect. If you're fed up with getting sick on your first day of holiday, here's how to prevent it. Elisabeth Wilson trained as a doctor before becoming a journalist. She has written medical and consumer trade books and widely in national press. She was Health and Wellbeing Editor of She magazine.
