Managing Your Emotions Under Pressure

How to Control the Fears, Tears, Anger and Emotions That Get in Your Way

You know you need to do something about all the pressure you feel, but you’re not sure what. Out-of-control emotions—tears, fears and anger—can be deadly. For example, doctors see the connection between pressure and pain every day:

• Nearly 90% of all health problems are related to stress
• People who can’t manage stress have a 40% higher death rate than those can
• Emotional stress causes more death from cancer and cardiovascular disease than does smoking

This book explores ways you can conquer your unruly emotions. You’ll discover things you may be doing to thwart your own success, like procrastination, chronic lateness and blaming others. You’ll learn to look at your own behavior, both on the job and at home, to construct some new ways of behaving that will help you handle pressure from within, and to bring about a change for your own good and well-being.
