Publisher's Synopsis
Do you feel overwhelmed? Is your 'to do' list growing at the rate of knots? Do you feel your health is suffering from so many responsibilities combined with the lack of time to complete them? Are you finding that you are missing time with your family in order to keep up? If so, you are not alone - stress is one of the most pervasive conditions in our modern 24/7 world and responsible for a range of health conditions, from depression to heart conditions. Fortunately, we all have the power to control our own lives and our health and there are a range of things we can do to improve our stress levels and ultimately our health. This well-researched book will help you understand what is causing your stressful feelings and give you practical steps on how to make yourself more resilient and beat stress once and for all. Written by Lawrence Mitchell, qualified life & health coach, leader of a 100+ marketing team, long-distance runner, healthy eater and author of 'Sugar: Sickly or Sweet' (a book outlining the dangers of sugar and practical ways to cut down) and 'A Better Life (a book about setting and achieving your life's goals), he is passionate about helping people optimise their lives. This book outlines a range of best-practice techniques used by the most successful people on the planet, distilled into his own methodology that has been tried and tested by himself and countless others. Reading this book will enable you to take back control of your life and design your life around the way you want to feel and behave. "Unlike other 'self-help' or psychology and wellbeing books I read, this one has a simple and clear message delivered without forcing the reader through pages and pages of academic thinking, supporting research and evidence. You read it because it takes you by the hand and leads you through the changes that you need to make and why. The essence of reams and reams of research is distilled and summarised for you in clear, easy to manage and memorable chunks. All you have to do is follow the advice. By the end of your read the new you will feel more in charge and (warning!) you may even find yourself quoting excerpts of the book back at the world."C Burn, London UK"As a seasoned entrepreneur, I've *had* to learn how to manage the stress of striving to be a good husband, father and CEO. It hasn't always been easy, and over the years I've developed a variety of patterns for managing stress. I wish, though, I had Lawrence's book when I started. He gives practical advice on a variety of topics. And while I think I enjoy cookies and ice cream a bit more than Lawrence would recommend, I'm thankful that his advice focuses on being helpful, not preachy."Luke Hohmann, Founder & CEO and of The Innovation Games Company
