A Personal Note From KRS Edstrom About Conquering Stress
 Through personal experience I learned that
your state of stress reflects your state in life. If you have chronic stress, your
foundation for health, relationships, success and happiness is unstable. I wanted readers
to see themselves in this book; to identify their individual stressors and then learn to
tailor a program to conquer their stress.

Excerpts
from Conquering Stress
 From
Introduction of Conquering Stress
Conquering Stress is filled
with practical examples, including illustrations of how three successful CEOs manage their
personal stress at work and at home. In addition to helping you learn how to recognize
sources of stress in your life, this attractive volume offers a variety of useful tips and
techniques you can utilize in reducing the harmful effects of stress. It correctly
emphasizes that stress is different for each of us, which is why it is so difficult for
scientists to agree on a satisfactory definition.
As pointed out in this
easy-to-understand book, stress is an unavoidable consequence of life. However, there are
some stresses you can do something about and others you can’t hope to avoid. The
trick is being able to distinguish between the two. This concise presentation provides the
tools that will help you conquer stress so you can become more productive, more fulfilled,
and enjoy an all-around higher quality of life. - Paul J. Rosch, M.D., President, The

Excerpt From Preface of Conquering
Stress
You Are, To Some Extent, What You
Do
For better or worse, whatever
effect your job has on you is carried into the rest of your life. Unfortunately, most of
us regularly experience job stress. One survey revealed that 75 percent of Americans
describe their jobs as stressful. Another study showed that a shocking 34 percent of us
have even considered quitting our jobs because of stress! This means most of us are
carrying a great deal of stress home each night, which is not exactly a health
"plus." In fact, many authorities consider stress the major adult health problem
today.
- Almost 90 percent of us experience
high levels of stress at least once a week.
- Seventy-five to 90 percent of all
visits to primary-care physicians are for stress-related disorders.
- Every week, 112 million people take
medications for stress-related symptoms.
- According to a recent nationwide
poll, medications for stress-related headaches comprised 61 percent of all
over-the-counter medications.
- The top three prescription drugs are
for stress-related, preventable conditions.
Conquering Stress
will help you conquer stress, whether you work for yourself or somebody else, whether you
work at a hot dog stand or at a Fortune 500 company.
