We need an appropriate amount but conversely, low level regular negative stress can result in reduced performance and anxiety, lack of energy and minor illnesses, while longer term stress can lead to more serious health issues, all impacting our performance at work. Explaining what stress is, both good and bad, this book provides a wealth of invaluable tips and strategies to help the reader cope with stressful situations both in the moment and over the longer term on a preventative basis.
