Work Without Stress by Derek Roger, PhD, and Nick Petrie

Brand new but there are some imperfections as shown.

A revolutionary approach to preventing stress that is evidence-based, life-changing, and scientifically proven to work

Why do some people get stressed while others stay calm, cool, and collected under pressure? According to renowned stress researcher Dr. Derek Roger, the answer lies in resilience―your ability to cope with challenges and thrive under adversity―rather than ruminating and obsessing over them. In lab-controlled studies, he discovered that the key to “managing” stress is to stop it before it starts. To be resilient, flexible, and ready for anything.

The culmination of three decades of research, this book presents a practical and proven program of simple step-by-step techniques that you can use to:
• Adjust your mindset and work more efficiently
• Control your response to any kind of pressure
• Detach and let go of negative thoughts
• Put things in perspective and focus on what matters
• Develop a stress-free leadership style
• Build more resilient teams and organizations
• Give constructive feedback and communicate effectively
• Differentiate between caring (useful) and worrying (useless)
• Open your mind to new approaches and ideas
• Reach higher levels of success―without all the stress

Warning: This is not another stress management book. It’s not about finding time to relax. It’s about cultivating resilience―the ability to negotiate the rapids of life without being swept away. It’s about reprogramming your emotional responses to high-pressure situations and breaking the self-defeating habits that do nothing but increase your levels of stress. In this book, you’ll find case-by-case studies and day-to-day techniques to help you readjust your attitude from the moment you wake up. You’ll discover essential tools for a stress-free life, including 3 questions to ask in a crisis, 4 steps to handle everyday pressures, and 8 behaviors that alleviate stress instantly. Best of all, the book shows you how to instill a no-stress approach to work in your fellow employees, throughout your organization.

Remember: You are not genetically programmed to experience stress. You have a choice. You can make your success the hard way―or you can Work Without Stress.
