Here is a sample strategy from the book:8. Build Positive RelationshipsWe spend 8 hours every day with our colleagues. That's usually more time than we spend with the person we've chosen to marry, our friends, or our family. Why would you not want to have pleasant and professional relationships with these people? I work with a lot of teams that are stressed out, with high workloads and big demands, but their number one stressor seems to be interpersonal relationships. It's tough dealing with other people all day long, especially when they aren't people you would have chosen to spend a significant part of your life with. We need to find ways to manage all our relationships professionally and focus on building strong relationships with the people we do enjoy.In a recent study of workplace dynamics reported in the Harvard Business Review, researchers "found that ... having a lot of coworkers who eventually developed into friends, significantly increased employees' performance, as judged by their supervisor. One possible reason for this was people seeking advice. If you have friends in the company, it's far easier to ask for help without fearing you'll be judged a poor performer. In addition, having friends in the company, especially if they work in other departments, gives you access to information through informal networks you might not otherwise get. Another reason might be morale: Employees with close friends at work reported being in a good mood more often, which could spill over into positive effects on the work being performed."If you do choose to build stronger connections at work, take the time to ask people about themselves and their lives. I've been consistently surprised when I get to know people better - everyone has an interesting story. You'll often find common ground, new respect and compassion for others.

You hear it all the time: stress causes heart disease; stress causes insomnia; stress is bad for you! But what if changing how you think about stress could make you happier, healthier, and better able to reach your goals? Combining exciting new research on resilience and mindset, Kelly McGonigal, PhD, proves that undergoing stress is not bad for you; it is undergoing stress while believing that stress is bad for you that makes it harmful. In fact, stress has many benefits, from giving us greater focus and energy, to strengthening our personal relationships. McGonigal shows readers how to cultivate a mindset that embraces stress, and activate the brain's natural ability to learn from challenging experiences. Both practical and life-changing, The Upside of Stress is not a guide to getting rid of stress, but a toolkit for getting better at it—by understanding, accepting, and leveraging it to your advantage.
