Description
In The Quest for Personal Power. Dr. Phil Nuernberger rejects the notion that stress is a necessary part of life, something that just hap- pens to us. Stress, he says, arises when we let fear and self-doubt control our thoughts and actions when we fail to take charge of the power of the mind... when we fail to thrive in an increasingly hostile environment.Dr. Nuernberger's book provides a unique per- spective on life and its challenges. It addresses the roots of our fears and offers real, workable solutions to the epidemic of stress. Because we cannot always change our environment, we must learn to use the power and potential of the mind to respond to outside pressures, to climinate stress, and to achieve wellness, confidence, and personal excellence.Stress is the characteristic disease of our time. Whether it is manifested as depression, anxiety, heart disease, or hypertension, the emotional and physical toll exacted by stress is enormous. We seek remedies in drugs, alcohol, exercise, or miracles of modern medicine-quick fixes that are, at best, short-term solutions and, at worst. debilitating and destructive. We change jobs, we move, we divorce and remarry, we experiment with the "movement of the month in an attempt to survive in an increasingly hostile world.ISBN:9780399141652
