Cracking the Stress Secret

Author: Amir A. Rashidian
Publisher: Greenleaf Book Group
ISBN: 1626349533
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 269

Book Description
Why stress isn’t a bad thing and how to turn it into strength When we seek advice on health and wellness, we are commonly told to reduce or eliminate stress in our lives. Cracking the Stress Secret takes a different stance. In this book, author, speaker, and chiropractor Amir Rashidian explains that striving to accomplish goals and improve ourselves inherently comes along with obstacles and stress, and so it’s unrealistic—even undesirable—to cut stress from our lives. How much we achieve depends on how much stress we can safely handle. In fact, stress can become a natural source of fuel for success. Geared toward professionals, entrepreneurs, and anyone who has a busy daily life but also has big aspirations, Cracking the Stress Secret demonstrates how health comes from the inside out and why it’s best to intentionally and gradually increase (not decrease) stress to improve adaptability and resilience. Dr. Rashidian provides ten steps that you can use to prepare yourself physically, biochemically, and psychologically for whatever pressures life might throw at you. Using compelling stories from his life and practice and drawing from his decades of experience in studying the human body’s response to stress, Dr. Rashidian illustrates how you can learn and adapt during stressful times, overcoming the challenges you face and, through the process, becoming better, stronger, and happier.

Merry Wives and Others

Author: Penelope Fritzer
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 9780786480647
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 276

Book Description
In many ways, the history of domestic humor writing is also a history of domestic life in the twentieth century. For many years, domestic humor was written primarily by females; significant contributions from male writers began as times and family structures changed. It remains timeless because of its basis on the relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, houses and inhabitants, pets and their owners, chores and their doers, and neighbors. This work is a historical and literary survey of humorists who wrote about home. It begins with a chapter on the social context of and attitudes toward traditional domestic roles and housewives. The following chapters, beginning with the 1920s and continuing through today, cover the different time periods and the foremost American domestic humorists, and the humor written by surrogate parents, grown children about their childhood families, husbands, and Canadian and English writers. Also covered are the differences among various writers toward traditional domestic roles--some, like Erma Bombeck and Judith Viorst, embraced them, while others, like Caryl Kristenson and Marilyn Kentz, resisted them. Common themes, such as the isolation and competitiveness of housework, home as an idealized metaphysical goal and ongoing physical challenge, and the urban, suburban, and rural life, are also explored.
