  Many people feel torn by competing priorities. No matter how hard they work, they don’t feel successful in any area of life. Work, study, parenting, even play—there doesn’t seem to be enough time to do anything well. So instead of feeling satisfied, they feel stressed: morning, noon, and night, on workdays and weekends, even on vacations, which are usually brief and interrupted.

  If that sounds like a description of your life, I’m sure you will find help in Stress: Living & Working in a Changing World. You may think you are too busy to read such a comprehensive book, but you will gain benefits from dipping into just a few chapters at a time. You’ll see yourself in the stories, and you’ll find help for your situation in the solutions.

  If you are responsible for teaching students or training employees, the data presented in many easy-to-understand charts and graphs along with engaging surveys and questionnaires will provide you with a complete curriculum for a semester-long class or a weekend workshop. If you are dealing with stress on your own, this book is worth purchasing just for the benefits it offers you.

  Stress can kill. This book is a tool that can keep stress from killing you.

  I would recommend this book to anyone from business to education to …, June 19, 2015

  This book has been a mainstay of the wellness program of the emergency medical group for which I work. We bought a copy for each of the Emergency Departments that we staff and have encouraged our providers to apply the concepts that the authors have outlined. As Emergency Physicians, our chosen profession has a high burnout rate and this book provides the model to help extend our careers and keep us in the game longer. It’s very readable and the interactive tests help to quantify things that are inherently difficult to quantify. I would recommend this book to anyone from business to education to healthcare as a practical outline for navigating life, family and career. Dr. Manning has presented the concepts of this book to my emergency medicine group in several different conferences. His presentation style is personal and inviting and is always met with enthusiasm and appreciation. I heartily endorse Stress: Living and Working in a Changing World.

  I have the pleasure of having one of the authors of the book as my professor for the class, and no I am not trying to get brownie points, this really is a great book! I have only ready part 1 and 2 so far but every day since I have read it, I remind myself of one of the points in those sections and decide I don’t need to put that wear and tear on my body by getting stressed out. I can’t say it has changed my life yet, but I feel like it is on its way. One of our assignments in class was to watch a video called “The Last Lecture” which goes along well with this book, I highly recommend watching the video, you can’t be in a bad mood after watching it. Puts life in perspective.
