About the Book

We have been taught to treat stress as an illness - an enemy to be defeated; a disease to be cured. But how do we square this view with the old saying that "a bit of stress is good for you"? How do we reconcile it with the observation that many high achievers seem to thrive on their stress? It seems that many of the things we have been taught about stress and stress management are wrong. It turns out that negative beliefs about stress are far more damaging than stress itself. Moreover, many of the techniques we have been taught for managing stress provide at best short-term relief rather than a genuine solution. In Good Stress Bad Stress, life coach and trainer Tim Watkins will show you how you can re-calibrate your natural, healthy stress response so that you can employ it positively, helping you to change your life for the better and to start realising your full potential.
About the Author: Tim Watkins is a life coach, trainer and a founder-director of Life Surfing, a Cardiff-based community interest company established to help prevent mental illness and to promote wellbeing. Tim Watkins graduated from the University of Wales College Cardiff with a first class honours economics degree in 1990. Between 1990 and 1997 he worked as a policy research officer for the Welsh Consumer Council where he researched and wrote a range of policy reports including In Deep Water, an investigation into problems in the aftermath of the North Wales ("Towyn") floods of 1990, and Quality of Life and Quality of Service, an investigation into the promotion of quality of life in residential homes for older people. Following a severe and enduring episode of depression between 1997 and 2000, Tim Watkins began working for the charity Depression Alliance, running its Wales office, and steering it to becoming an independent charity in its own right in 2005. He continued to run the charity (which re-launched as Journeys in 2007) until 2010. During that time, the Welsh Government appointed him to sit on the Health & Wellbeing Council for Wales and the Burrows-Greenwell Review of Mental Health in Wales. He also played a key role in developing the Healthy Minds at Work project, during which he wrote Taking Control, an audio self-help book for people affected by depression, and oversaw the development of the award-winning Depression Busting self-management programme for people affected by depression. In October 2010, along with Julia Kaye and Paul Clarke, Tim Watkins formed Life Surfing CIC as a vehicle to address public wellbeing in people experiencing stress or whose life circumstances put them at risk of developing mental illness, and in people experiencing mild/moderate common mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression.
