Heart disease, cancer, stroke, stomach problems, chronic skin troubles, arthritis, cold sores or fever blisters, headaches, colitis, high blood pressure, overweight, nervous breakdowns. Quite a list! Did you know that stress underlies all these and many other health disorders? It does.
No one can escape stress. Dr. Hans Selye, foremost student of stress, has discovered that even strong positive emotions can produce stress-feelings of joy, excitement, and ecstasy. The mere act of living produces tension! But there are ways of coping. Stress does not need to kill you. You can learn how to deal with damaging stress in the present and to avoid health-destroying stress in the future.
Numerous books on stress bow the shelves in bookstores. But this book differs from all the rest. Leo Van Dolsen, health educator, points to a significant discovery-stress affects the whole person. That's why those strategies which involve only a physical or mental means of dealing with stress can't do the job adequately. Dr. Van Dolsen outlines a revolutionary way to combat stress. It involves physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions. He calls it "total health." What's more, the strategies he presents cost little or nothing--except a little time and effort.
