I am stressed out!! I have a lot of stress!! All these words have become an integral part of our everyday life. But do we actually know what stress is? Do we know the cause of it? If we know it is present, do we actually do anything about it?? When I ask people these questions most of them answered NO. So I decided to come up with a book that explains stress. I did not want to write about various theories with a lengthy treatment procedure so I came up with Effective Stress Control Techniques: A 7 day Mantra to a Stress-Free Life . I present to you a practical mantra to manage stress effectively in 7 days that teaches one to understand one s own stress, techniques to overcome it, and finally ways to lead a stress free life. I believe this book works like a balm. When you go through the activities, you will understand your stress quotient & what works best for you. It will also empower you with the ability to identify stress in others and help them deal with it better.
