Stress has been described as a modern epidemic and the number one threat
to the physical health, emotional well-being, and productivity of modern
men and women. This book goes beyond simplistic and mechanical
explanations of the stress response to a comprehensive view of how mind,
body, and emotions interact to create stress. We are given a wealth of
practical techniques to relax both body and mind and to restore health
and harmony to our lives. Exercise, diet, meditation, relaxation
procedures, breathing techniques, and guidelines for a healthy lifestyle
are presented in a manner that is easy to understand and apply.
