Stress - it's my sick theme
Judge for yourself:
- young father
- Hard worker

Oh, this book fell into the right hands! Previously, I was given stress without reserve. High blood pressure, headaches, endless nagging... I just wanted to run away, to hide, to drop to his mother's boobs - a pitiful sight. Not surprisingly, all my life I avoided any how any strenuous activity. I chose ready-made solutions. He behaved modestly. I do not understand what is stress, where it comes from. For me, it was absolutely negative phenomenon. The first book that made me take another look at the stress - this is the book "Stress-surfing" Ivan Kirillov. I liked the book and received a score of 7/10 in my review. For a whole month I specifically tracked stressful situations and fought with them Kirillov. My relation to stress has changed completely. By helplessly negative to positive confidence-:
- Stress - a necessary component of growth
- Stress - test yourself, which makes me stronger. Next time, I will bear the stress easier
- Stress - shakes my life and does not stagnate
- Avoiding stress alone will make the stress more the next time
If I used to avoid stress, but now I aspire to it. Me all these ideas seriously "torknulo". They pushed me to, for example, that I announced for himself in 2014 - the "Year outside the comfort zone" and waved for the winter in Thailand savage. Still, I could not completely expel "bad stress" of his life. Therefore, I am pleased to respond to the offer of the publishing house "Mann, Ivanov and Ferber" to review their new book "Stress resistance" Sharon Miller.
I read a book for a long time
No, not what you think. The book is easy to read. Just one paragraph of text forces me to stop and postpone the reader to remember, remember, remember. I thought about different cases from my life: conflicts with colleagues, petty domestic troubles, blockages at work. And most importantly - my reaction to them. So, here is what is at stake in the book:
- The stress of excess cases
- phobias
- How not to worry about what others think
- Diffidence
- anger management
- Stress in a relationship
- And much more!
The format of the book
Sharon Miller - practicing psychologist, and it shows. The book turned out on the case. It parses the frequent sources of stress. All mini-stories format. Each chapter ends with exercises. Yet there are a variety of tests. That's cool. That's how it is necessary to write the book application. Generally, a book full of concrete advice, I have not met. You are already beginning to get used to that in any book, 90% of garbage and read accounts for the remaining 10%. Here it's different. The book is useful to and from. I did not even try to write this review of the book valuable thoughts. We'll have to rewrite it all stupid.
Amazing coincidence?
Sharon in the book refers only to those authors who in my rankings of the best books received maximum points:
- "7 Habits" by Stephen Covey
- "Stream" Mihayya Csikszentmihalyi
- «GTD» David Allen
- "Never eat alone," Keith Ferratsi.
Considering that I normally very sparing of "tens", it's just amazing. It turns out she's a collaborator? ))
Summary
To read: required. Everything. Evaluation: 10/10 The highest score from me are not just good books that I have read and postponed. And those books that make me change my life, forced to write down some concrete steps in your planner and so on. The book "Stress resistance" will certainly change my life. I had already planned to read it a second time. I will do "battle cheat sheet" to work on themselves and their relationship to stress. In the near future here or on my blog will be more than one article, inspired by the ideas of Sharon. By the way, reading the book itself has a powerful healing effect. I started reading the book, being exhausted from work-related stress, which took possession of me in recent days. And finishing is already calm and confident. As if visited in the session psychologist)) Thanks, Sharon Miller!
