About the Book
Practice Safe Stress: Healing
and Laughing in the Face of Stress, Burnout, & Depression tackles the
“Toxic-Traumatic Trio” – stress, burnout, and depression. Learn practical and playful, inspiring and
insightful strategies for transforming these toxins into life-affirming energy,
creative focus, and goal-achievement.
Bringing a personal, professional, and organizational perspective, this
book is alive with imaginative language and memorable “how to” ideas for:
▪ Understanding
the “Four Stages of Burnout,” the “Erosive Spiral”
▪ Rebuilding your fire and developing “Natural SPEED”
▪ Achieving
liberation through “Emancipation Procrastination”
▪ Reducing conflict as a healing or motivational “psychohumorist” ™
There are satirical essays on
“lean-and-MEAN” managers and on mismanaged downsizings. Learn to “laugh in the face of layoffs” and
ponder the possibility of “Van Gogh, Prozac, and Creativity.” The Stress Doc also shares his own trials,
errors, and triumphs in battling the “Toxic Trio.”
Safe Stress provides many discrete “Top Ten” lists and “strategic tips” essays useful as educational/informational handouts. To quote the Internet Newsroom: Your Guide to the World of Electronic Factgathering: “The most outstanding feature…is his ‘psychohumor’ essays. Always witty, thought-provoking, and helpful.” With this easy-to-follow, fast-paced, and fun health and wellness guide, you’ll return often to Practice Safe Stress.
