Learn the science behind stress and start living better Stress can kill. Chronic stress has been linked to depression, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Left untreated it can cause serious and long-lasting health problems. Drawing on two decades of clinical research into the effects of stress on the brain and the body, For the Love of Stress is designed to help you learn to control your stress and live a happier, healthier life.
Dr. Sonia Lupien is internationally respected as a leading authority on the science of stress, and in this practical, accessible book she provides an essential guide to understanding and managing the stresses we face every day. Identifying the four factors that underlie any stressful situation: Novelty—something new and unfamiliar; Unpredictability—not knowing how something is going to unfold; Threat—to your sense of self; and a poor Sense of self control, Dr. Lupien uses the appropriate acronym "N.U.T.S." to explore how stress makes us feel and how we can learn to cope.

Si vous deviez vous procurer un seul ouvrage sur le stress, le voici ! Quel que soit votre occupation, votre style de vie ou votre âge, vous y trouverez votre profit. -Paule Genest, Genest|médiaconseil Ce livre m'a vivement impressionné. Essentiel pour les gestionnaires qui découvriront les conséquences néfastes du stress chez leurs employés, et la façon de les aider. -Denis Gauthier, premier vice-président et directeur national, Financière Banque National. D'emblée, l'auteure déclare que contrairement à ce que bien des gens pensent, le stress n'est pas une maladie : au contraire, il est essentiel à la survie humaine. Par contre, s'il vous affecte de façon chronique, cela peut entraîner de graves séquelles. Dans un style simple, imagé, avec une touche d'humour, l'auteure présente le résultat de 20 années d'études scientifiques sur le stress : ses causes, ses symptômes et ses conséquences à long terme sur le corps humain. Elle propose aussi des méthodes surprenantes de le contrôler, pourtant à portée de tous !
