Recommendation

Stephen R. Covey’s influential business book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, inspired this stress-management manual. Health management professor Dr. Michael Olpin and his former patient Sam Bracken, who overcame childhood abuse and homelessness, show you how to change your reactions to stress. They teach that most stress comes from within, which means you can learn to “unwind” your stress and take charge of your response to it. They discuss seven paradigms you can change to control stress in your life. Each chapter includes sidebars and questionnaires to help you identify and work on your dominant paradigm. The last chapter lists specific techniques for managing mental, physical, emotional and spiritual stressors. getAbstract recommends this short, insightful guide to anyone seeking more peace of mind.

Take-Aways

  • Stress undermines employees’ health and hurts organizational operations and profits.
  • You can’t avoid stress, but you can minimize it.
  • Multitasking increases stress. Being mindful decreases it.
