Download or read book A Primer in Positive Psychology written by Christopher Peterson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-07-27 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positive psychology is the scientific study of what goes right in life, from birth to death and at all stops in between. It is a newly-christened approach within psychology that takes seriously the examination of that which makes life most worth living. Everyone's life has peaks and valleys, and positive psychology does not deny the valleys. Its signature premise is more nuanced, but nonetheless important: what is good about life is as genuine as what is bad and, therefore, deserves equal attention from psychologists. Positive psychology as an explicit perspective has existed only since 1998, but enough relevant theory and research now exist to fill a textbook suitable for a semester-long college course. A Primer in Positive Psychology is thoroughly grounded in scientific research and covers major topics of concern to the field: positive experiences such as pleasure and flow; positive traits such as character strengths, values, and talents; and the social institutions that enable these subjects as well as what recent research might contribute to this knowledge. Every chapter contains exercises that illustrate positive psychology, a glossary, suggestions of articles and books for further reading, and lists of films, websites, and popular songs that embody chapter themes. A comprehensive overview of positive psychology by one of the acknowledged leaders in the field, this textbook provides students with a thorough introduction to an important area of psychology.

This book was released on 2014-02-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Stressful To Successful In 4 Easy Steps. Take A Healthy View of Stress. Step 1 - Calm The Mind And Body Step 2 - Improve Your Lifestyle Step 3 - Follow A Healthy Diet Step 4 - Provide Nutritional and Herbal Support Stress should not be viewed as a negative phenomenon and the approach should be that it is not the stressor that determines the response; but it is rather the individual's internal reaction that triggers the response. People have negative and positive coping patterns to overcome stress. Negative stress coping patterns many of which can lead to dependence and addiction that will actually aggravate the condition we are trying to stop or cure include things such as use of drugs, use of alcohol, smoking, overeating etc. Positive stress coping include things such as techniques to calm the mind, time management, maintaining good relationships, exercise, healthy diet etc. Your System Must Be Prepared To Take It Dr. Selye says: "No one can live without experiencing some degree of stress all the time. You may think that only serious disease or intensive physical or mental injury can cause stress. This is false. Crossing a busy intersection, exposure to a draft, or even sheer joy are enough to activate the body's stress mechanisms to some extent. Stress is not even necessarily bad for you; it is also the spice of life, for any emotion, any activity causes stress. But, of course, your system must be prepared to take it. The same stress which makes one person sick can be an invigorating experience for another!" The most important part of that statement may very well be this: "your system must be prepared to take it." This book is beneficial for every person in the street, and should be in the hands of all who truly want to address their inner awareness of stress as well as their physical readiness to generate a self-system based on calmness.

Download or read book Work without Stress Building a Resilient Mindset for Lasting Success written by Derek Roger and published by McGraw-Hill Education. This book was released on 2016-11-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT STRESS. If you’re like most people, you probably think that stress is an inevitable part of life. The truth is: it’s not. In a groundbreaking 30-year study, Dr. Derek Roger has discovered that everything we think we know about stress—and how we should “manage” it—is just plain wrong. STRESS IS A CHOICE. It is not a natural response to the pressures of work. It’s a choice that you make, consciously or not, to worry and fret and agonize over the work you need to do—instead of just doing it. WORK DOESN’T HAVE TO BE STRESSFUL FOR YOU TO BE SUCCESSFUL. This book offers a radically different approach to stress. It’s about being resilient. Flexible. Mentally awake and in the moment. It’s about changing your mindset to keep things in perspective instead of adding fuel to the fire with negative thoughts. The techniques you’ll find in this book are powerful, practical, and proven to work—without stress. A revolutionary approach to preventing stress that is evidence-based, life-changing, and scientifically proven to work Why do some people get stressed while others stay calm, cool, and collected under pressure? According to renowned stress researcher Dr. Derek Roger, the answer lies in resilience—your ability to cope with challenges and thrive under adversity—rather than ruminating and obsessing over them. In lab-controlled studies, he discovered that the key to “managing” stress is to stop it before it starts. To be resilient, flexible, and ready for anything. The culmination of three decades of research, this book presents a practical and proven program of simple step-by-step techniques that you can use to: • Adjust your mindset and work more efficiently • Control your response to any kind of pressure • Detach and let go of negative thoughts • Put things in perspective and focus on what matters • Develop a stress-free leadership style • Build more resilient teams and organizations • Give constructive feedback and communicate effectively • Differentiate between caring (useful) and worrying (useless) • Open your mind to new approaches and ideas • Reach higher levels of success—without all the stress Warning: This is not another stress management book. It’s not about finding time to relax. It’s about cultivating resilience—the ability to negotiate the rapids of life without being swept away. It’s about reprogramming your emotional responses to high-pressure situations and breaking the self-defeating habits that do nothing but increase your levels of stress. In this book, you’ll find case-by-case studies and day-to-day techniques to help you readjust your attitude from the moment you wake up. You’ll discover essential tools for a stress-free life, including 3 questions to ask in a crisis, 4 steps to handle everyday pressures, and 8 behaviors that alleviate stress instantly. Best of all, the book shows you how to instill a no-stress approach to work in your fellow employees, throughout your organization. Remember: You are not genetically programmed to experience stress. You have a choice. You can make your success the hard way—or you can Work Without Stress.
