We all, more or less, suffer from stress. We stress with family, with girlfriends, with friends. We stress when something is wrong, in any area of our lives.

But there comes a point when this malaise begins to show itself prominently.

To ruin our days, our relationships, our productivity.

Stress, we can say it, is the real and insidious disease of modern life.

Think about it for a little while:

What is your main cause of tension?

What makes you nervous, irritable and, to some extent, even sad?

What makes you ineffective in relationships?

What would you give to feel at least a little bit better?

Everyone has their own paturnias, everyone has their own daily challenges to face.

This audiobook is about how to deal with stress but in a very specific area, namely the work environment.

We spend a third of our lives in a place where we have to produce, be on a computer, relate to other people.

How can we even remotely underestimate the importance of the quality of time we spend at work?

While stress is part of any work-related problem, it can be really detrimental as well as crippling.

Long story short: a little stress is good.

But don’t overdo it, don’t break the string. Never!

When you are overstretched, not only do you become a magnet for all kinds of ailments possible and imaginable, but you also begin to exhibit a degree of inefficiency.

And that’s not good.

Neither for you nor for your team.

This happens because when you’re physically and emotionally imbalanced, your ability to cope with everyday situations becomes less polished (and your resistance to illnesses lowers as well, did you know?).

With this audiobook you’ll get all the information you need to better manage all that tension you accumulate every day in the workplace and, to some extent, it can make your life a little less hard.

As we’ll see later, you’ll need to learn how to organize your days, but more importantly, how to handle relationships with a new spirit.

This text is dedicated to all those who are experiencing a frustrating situation related to the world of business and relationships with colleagues, with the hope of being able to bring a pinch of serenity and lightness in your lives.
