Description:
The field of Organizational Psychology & Occupational stress is considered to be a complex and multifaceted one. Many efforts have been made by several authors to write books that would have assisted employees in becoming more satisfied, relaxed and happier with their work, but such a result seems difficult and complicated to achieve. This book dedicates itself to explaining in detail the mechanisms through which occupational stress negatively affects our lives as well as in proposing techniques that will help individuals to enhance their coping skills in dealing with stress. This is made in a very simplistic and playful way, but nevertheless grounded in scientific literature and findings.
