Published in association with the Stress Management Society:

Stress is not a generic thing, although its always treated that way. Some people are really good at avoiding some stresses without realising that they are slaves to another kind.

This book looks at the sources - occupational, genetic and environmental - and reveals 52 clever techniques and ideas that focus on the causes rather than simply telling people how to deal with the symptoms.

Here are just some of the chapters to be discovered:

* Admit your addiction! The power of positive stress.

* Give a little, get a lot. Why volunteering could be the best decision you've ever made.

* Too stressed to sleep? It happens. Here's what to do if it happens to you. (Strictly no lavender candles)

* The stop and collapse effect. If you're fed up with getting sick on the very first day of your holiday, heres how to prevent it.
