Description

The dust cover has a couple stains but the book is in good condition. True or False? Stress is good for you! Conventional wisdom insists that the statement is false, that stress is a thief robbing us of our ability to relax and enjoy life to its fullest. But for centuries, poets and philosophers have celebrated the ups and downs of life as the very essence of living, the spice that enables us to taste life fully. So who's right? The new, fast-emerging positive psychology movement is affirming the timeless wisdom of the philosophers by showing that it is not stress itself preventing us from enjoying life, but out negative reaction to stress that does the damage. Positive psychology confirms that rather than shrinking from adversity, we must become engaged by it--and thrive through it--before we can savor all the sweetness life has to offer.
