(PRWEB) May 12, 2005 -- Numerous sources have referred to chronic overstress and burnout at the executive level as an epidemic.
Reports from major health services and surveys in business publications regularly report alarming statistics about the health consequences of chronic stress, and the cost to organizations of stress-related absences, accidents, poor productivity and morale problems.
Not surprisingly, a person's ability to handle stress will impact how successful they are.
Managing Stress is a new, concise, information-rich guide with effective, proven ideas that can be used right away to begin recognizing and coping better with stress.
Managing Stress was written by David A. Weiman, Psy.D., a management psychologist and former senior executive who has authored articles, presented seminars, and consulted with executives one-on-one about stress for years.
The information in Managing Stress is presented in a clear, easy-to-follow format that highlights the essential aspects of the core topic:
What stress is. Common-sense information about stress. Readers will learn what the "stress response" is, what triggers it, and what effects it has on their physical and mental health in the short term and the long term.
How to recognize it. Before it becomes a chronic problem. Readers learn what problems others report as a result of being overstressed. Helpful tools let them assess their level of stress at work.
What to do about it. Practical, real-world solutions that attack the external sources of stress in life and teach, step-by-step, how to prepare to cope with it most effectively.
