A Comprehensive Guide to Stress Management

Stress is often thought of as a bad thing. Gary R. Plaford seeks to debunk this myth by postulating that stress is a primary response for survival. He explains in his book Fight or Flight: The Ultimate Book on Understanding and Managing Stress what stress is and guides readers on how to manage it.
 
The book is divided into two parts. The first part explains the misconception of stress and why it is an essential part of human life. It reveals the four causes of stress and the struggles of managing stress. In the second part, Plaford focuses on stress management. Since stress is inherent to life, it’s better to manage stress rather than only reduce it. The book contains multiple techniques for addressing stress physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
 
M. E. Butter, an Amazon customer, gave the book a five star rating and said, “Just reading about this stuff gave me many insights on how to deal with stressful situations intelligently. It opens the possibility to become friends with your own stress response, to embrace stressful situations as opportunities for growth.”
