Publisher's Synopsis
Without the skills to handle life's challenges and tame your inner stress monster you end up stressed out. The biggest threat to health in modern life is not outside you - it is being attacked by your own inner stress monster. Designed to keep you safe, the fight or flight response alerts you to the presence of danger in your immediate environment and your mind responds by producing a physical reaction - even when the danger is not real! When this happens frequently and for prolonged periods the build-up of stress chemicals can cause illness. We all feel under pressure at times and many of us have forgotten what it feels like to relax, as we bounce from one crisis to another. This guide will enable you to understand the causes of your stress so you can reactivate your body's relaxation system and take practical steps to deal with challenging situations.
