How to Survive Being Alive

ebook

A comprehensive and straightforward guide to dealing with stress of every sort, offering "lucid wisdom for learning to achieve and enjoy a healthy life" (Ray H. Rosenman, MD, author of Type A Behavior).
Years ago, the idea that any kind of stress—positive or negative—could lead to accidents or illnesses was far outside the mainstream. How could a joyful and exciting event such as a promotion, a marriage, a financial windfall, a vacation, or even Christmas be a bad thing?

In How to Survive Being Alive, the authors put in plain language what many doctors had always suspected—that the body responds to life's highs and lows by lowering its defenses, and that these variations directly affect a person's physical being as well and their mental health. First published in 1977, these groundbreaking ideas led many more doctors to consider their patient's overall mental and physical wellness, rather than simply treating symptoms.

This classic guide to identifying and learning to cope with stress as well as improving interpersonal relations with others has only become more relevant in today's hectic twenty-first century world.
