The dictionary definition of stress includes anything that stimulates and increases awareness. So there's no getting rid of it: stress is always there, in both personal and professional lives. The trick is to learn how to handle it -- readers need to know how to make that adrenaline rush work for rather than against them! The ability to handle life's crises can mean the difference between health problems and psychological burnout and the exhiliration of meeting stressful situations -- and people -- head on and besting them. The Unofficial Guide to Beating Stress offers readers savvy tips on:

Telling the difference between good stress and bad stress
Staying clear of high-stress foods
Working out adrenaline surges at the gym or dance studio
Warding off the physical damages of stress through massage, chirpractic, and osteopathic techniques
