Stress for Success: Jim Loehr's Program for Transforming Stress into Energy at Work

Stress for Success: Jim Loehr's Program for Transforming Stress into Positive Energy at Work, by James E. Loehr, expands upon the author's 20 years of experience in preparing high-level executives and world-class athletes for the "stress of competition." It is built upon his contrarian contention that stress does not necessarily inhibit productivity and effectiveness; in fact, he argues, it can actually prove to be a "powerful stimulus" for personal and professional growth. The secret, he says, is learning how to respond, and he presents a 30-day program (similar to an elite athlete's training regimen) intended to do just that.
