This is the last book on Stress that you will ever need to buy. Let me explain ...
I have worked with troubled people for the past 25 years and they don't come to me for coaching, or to attend my workshops, for no reason at all. And, no matter the reason it always has at least one component of stress.
Here's what you will find in this book:
Stress management techniques, suicide prevention strategies, stress reduction tips, relaxation techniques and dealing with depression, anxiety and stress relief.
Stress is the "wear and tear" our bodies experience as we adjust to our continually changing environment; it has physical and emotional effects on us and can create poor or negative feelings. Stress will help or hinder us, depending on how we react to it:
- stress can help compel us to action; it can result in a new awareness and an exciting new perspective.
- it can result in feelings of distrust, rejection, anger, and depression, which in turn can lead to health problems such as headaches, upset stomach, rashes, insomnia, ulcers, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.
- with the death of a loved one, birth of a child, job promotion, or a new intimate relationship, we experience stress as we readjust our lives
Anything that causes CHANGE IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINE is stressful. Anything that causes CHANGE IN YOUR BODY HEALTH is stressful. IMAGINED CHANGES are just as stressful as real changes.
Are you sick of stress? What are you waiting for then?

About the Author: George has lived and/or worked in all ten Canadian provinces and three territories, as well as having lived and/or worked in 28 of the 50 United States. He had a problem with alcohol but for more than 26 years (since September 9, 1988) he has not used intoxicants of any kind. Achieving sobriety led to his interest in human behavior and, in particular, why we humans do what we do. His interest and work in the field of human behavior eventually lead him to working for an Employee Assistance Program as both a counselor and manager as well as leading and facilitating workshops and seminars. Prior to developing the DYNAMIC DISCOVERY process he was presenting and leading a two day seminar program titled "THE PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT SERIES" that consisted of 4 topics: Intimate Relationships; Guilt; Co-Dependency, and; The Right To Choose. The back and forth interactions with those seminar clients was enthusiastic and instructive, which led him into using a process of self-evaluation and eventually turned his seminars and workshops into participatory group sessions focused on unwanted and wanted behaviors and how to move from the former to the latter. He first became interested in the self-evaluation process when he read some of the works of American philosopher and psychologist William James (1890, 1892) who developed a basic approach to self-evaluations when he studied and wrote about his theories on Mind cure and the principles of psychology which set the stage for multidimensional and hierarchical models of the self. The formal format for the Dynamic Discovery program came about in December, 1995, while he was sorting his notes from 4 years of those two day seminar sessions because he wanted to create a document that could be used by some of his clients who wanted to understand the "hows" and "whys" of the process that had unfolded during those group sessions... from real life situations and the very real people who shared their thoughts and stories with the Group and who allowed him to learn from them and keep some notes on what was happening during those early sessions.
