This workbook goes beyond the symptoms of stress to the psychological roots. In-depth questionnaires help readers to identify their main sources of stress and to understand their physical and emotional effects. Cross-references lead to relevant action plans, designed to break harmful behaviour patterns and develop long-term strategies for coping with life. The book helps to develop life skills such as assertiveness, time management, rational thinking and self care. It is aimed at people of all ages and lifestyles, from worried adolescents and ambitious workers to those of retirement age.
