Publisher's Synopsis
TO ACHIEVE GREAT THINGS, YOU MUST HAVE TWO ELEMENTS: A PLAN...AND STRESS. Over several decades, many specialists, including psychiatrists, inspirational speakers, spiritual healers and occupational therapists have trumpeted the benefits of stress as an effective motivational aid. That is a good thing - but watch out for too much stress in your life! Stress is a slow killer, gradually annihilating the lives of millions of people in the world and defeating governments and society as a whole in a battle in which prevention has proven to be better than reaction. The book singles out the five stress sources that progressively decimate individual destinies: personal thoughts, actions and words as well as negative people and the external environment.
The book contains a helpful Discussion Guide and information about sequel Pop!!! The Power of Positive - How to Completely Change Your Life in 7 Days. Through thought-provoking questions, the book gives extensive advice on how to use the discussion guide, how to inform decisions related to the topics at hand, and how to best read it - alone, in reading groups, with your partner, or as part of learning activities, among others.
