I think all of us have to work under a lot more pressure nowadays that at anytime in history.

Expectations are higher than ever before and the need to do ”more” with ”less” is a given. Our family lives are also frantic. Add all of this together and it can caused us to be stressed and more anxious.

In this textbook, you’ll be given information, techniques and strategies to manage your stress levels. We may not be able to control the events that happen to us but we can certainly manage the meaning and the impact that they have upon us.
