Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A guidebook for the journey from exhaustion to enlightenmentChronic multitasking and ever-increasing demands on our time and energy have caused a neurochemically-based dependence on sources of stress and stimulation to provide fuel for our chaotic lifestyles. While this may boost performance in the short-term, studies have consistently shown that when stress hormones are elevated over time they create the worst form of internal wear and tear; decreasing productivity, wasting time, and even killing brain cells.

The solution to stress addiction is to build in and prioritize optimal rest and relaxation on a holistic level--body, mind, and spirit--in order to consistently recharge and create a more resilient operating system.Stressaholic shows you how to win the war on stress without limiting progress by creating an optimal performance pulse of stress and recovery for life.\* Explains the impact of chronic stress on the human operating system; body, mind, and spirit\* Shows how a simple shift in mindset can dramatically alter physiological responses to stress\* Reveals simple techniques for altering daily stress patterns to improve natural rhythms, creating a personalized performance pulseWith easy to implement tips and real-world examples of people and organizations that have turned stress into sustainable drive, Stressaholic will guide you on your journey from exhaustion to enlightenment.…
