Book excerpt: Drawing from groundbreaking research, psychologist and award-winning teacher Kelly McGonigal, PhD, offers a surprising new view of stress—one that reveals the upside of stress, and shows us exactly how to capitalize on its benefits. 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.

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.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide students, from high school to college, as well as graduate and professional school, with insights and strategies to prevent, eliminate, or reduce the stress in major student-relevant areas that can undermine academic performance and satisfaction.

All the above is approached from a refreshingly practical and spiritual perspective. Though this book is primarily geared for students, those who work with students (such as educators and academic or personal counselors) will find it useful for appreciating the multiple stresses students contend with and as a means to provide help. Parents will also gain greater insight into the challenges students face, and be better able to support them to get the most out of their educational investment.

Download or read book Stress Management written by Wolfgang Linden and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2004-10-05 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for Stress Management "The author is correct in saying that the stress management field is a ′soft′ one, lacking a strong theoretical foundation, and therefore lacking good studies of efficacy and long term outcome. Certainly any publication that would improve on this situation is to be welcomed. . . . Strengths are the systematic approach to the topic. The attempt to ground scientifically the issue of stress management will appeal greatly to the more discerning student of clinical psychology and applied health psychology. It will provide a sufficiently academic approach to the topic that it will find acceptance in courses on the topic." -William R. Lovallo, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center & Director, Behavioral Sciences Laboratory, VA Medical Centers, Oklahoma City Most of the literature on stress management describes and evaluates individual stress responses but lacks a critical view of the scientific foundation of stress. In order to truly comprehend stress management, there needs to be clear understanding on the phenomenon that is "to be managed." Stress Management: From Basic Science to Better Practice examines documented pathways between stress and health and develops the scientific foundations for sound interventions. The book begins with a broad review of the term ′stress′ and its importance for health. The text then provides a critical examination of the elements of the stress process, extracts supporting research for a rationale of stress management and describes various stress management techniques and their effectiveness. In Stress Management, author and renowned stress researcher Wolfgang Linden reviews the literature on intervention outcomes, noting weaknesses that include an overemphasis on individual rather than societal responsibility for stress and coping and disregard of the emerging field of positive psychology. The author concludes the text with a proposed distinction between psychotherapy and stress management, and he proposes the need for three distinguishable subtypes of stress management programs-a systematic-preventative approach; a broad-based stress vaccination and prevention type of protocol; and a reactive, problem-solving type of stress reduction intervention. Key Features Begins with a firm groundwork in defining stress and examining conceptual models of stress to set the stage for rational, science-based thinking on how to manage it Introduces a unique three-step process model for stress management Considers physiological and sociocultural influences on stress and health Offers an objective analysis of existing literature and includes extensive personal, clinical experiences of the author to make the science of stress come alive for the reader Includes coverage of positive psychology and how the creation of social support and positive emotional states can ease experiences with stress Stress Management is an excellent textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses, such as Stress Management, Stress & Coping, Stress & Health, and Stress & Wellness, in the fields of Psychology and Health. The book is also a valuable resource for researchers and clinicians within the behavioral sciences interested in understanding and alleviating stress.
