This book does not promise an overnight cure for stress. What it can do for you is:

• increase your awareness of what causes you stress
• show you what you can do to begin to change course
• show you how to reduce workplace stress - whether you're an employer or an employee
• help you to live a life that is relatively stress-free and therefore happier and more fulfilling

Averil Overton takes sound psychological concepts of stress and translates them into accessible information that everyone can use every day. With lots of case studies and real-life examples, Stress Less: Make stress work for you, not against you is a fascinating and helpful book.
