Natural reactions to stress are not only beneficial but also necessary for health and strength. As Franklin Roosevelt said, 'the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.' So it is up to us whether we seek the answer of 'how to reduce stress' or can turn it into strength and a zone of personal growth. If you choose the latter, this book will become your assistant and guide in becoming a strong and confident person.
