Write Your Own Prescription for Stress
By Valerie O'Hara
Book Description
Avoiding such approaches as too narrow or too broad, Write Your Own Prescription for Stress starts by showing readers how to determine their personality type, identify their stresses, and recognize how their personality contributes to their perception of stress in their lives. Readers can choose the coping strategy best for their situation, such as a problem-focused model (for managing controllable problems such as busy schedules and overwork) or an emotion-focused approach (for illness and other uncontrollable events). The book shows how personality and stress-coping resources hold the key to emotional well-being.
