Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Provides advice on how to recognize the causes of stress, make the most effective choices about stressful situations, and develop a lifelong personal effectiveness plan.

Book Description

"Pressures, problems, and conflicts are a fact of life. But the manager who can face problems head-on and deal with them calmly is way ahead of the game.

How to Stay Cool, Calm & Collected When the Pressure's On offers a systematic approach to dealing with a world that often seems a chaotic confluence of tough decisions, difficult situations, and combative people. Written by a stress expert with a Ph.D. in organizational psychology, this antidote to stress and strain lays out a unique and powerful approach to making wise choices and taking actions that will put readers in control of any situation.

Once the author's ""Command and Control"" techniques are learned, they can be used again and again in all areas of life. Readers will learn how to:

* destroy counterproductive, stress-producing habits

* adopt new, effective habits

* become mentally tough, emotionally in control

* communicate in a positive way

How to Stay Cool Calm & Collected When the Pressure's On provides checklists, quotes from stress conquerors, and an outline for a personal effectiveness plan. By carefully adhering to the book's principles, anyone can erase the ravages of stress and move on to a more productive, I-can-handle-any-problem attitude. Without the energy-wasting effort of worrying, readers can concentrate on the important things: achieving success and enjoying their lives"

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!, September 9, 1999
By A Customer
Amazing is what I achieved in my professional and personal life after applying what I read in this book!

Being a principal at a big consulting firm, I'm responsible for some very challenging (to say the least...) projects. Stress is a constant in my professional life. At home, I've 2 stepdaughters, one with 15 years-old, an awful temper and a I-know-everything-and-I-do-what-I-want attitude. Stress, again, when (ever) I arrive home from work.

Until I read this book, my life had been pretty lousy: fights at home all the time, long hours (to compensate for the lack of concentration) at work, weekends too short to recover, a lot of illnesses (recurring colds, collitis, allergies, ...), overweight, you name it!

Now, I REALLY feel great: I lost a lot of weigth, my famliy life is better, I'm a lot more productive at work, ...

Get it, read it, use it, apply it!

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Changed My Life...Literally!, August 20, 1999
By A Customer
I acquired this book from an ex-boyfriend who acquired it from my ex-best girlfriend who lives with my ex-husband. Sound complicated? Well, it was. So was my life until I picked up this book. You do NOT have to be a "business" person to benefit from this book. I was a single mom of a 4 year old daughter, unemployed, no car, being evicted from my house and living with a guy that was addicted to metamphetamines and burglarized homes for a living. The day I opened "Cool, Calm & Collected" my life changed 180 degrees. My daughter & I moved out (within 21 days)into our own 2 bdrm apt., I got a full-time job, a cute car and a new stable, responsible boyfriend (all within 3 months). This was almost five years ago and I still pick-up this book whenever I need guidance in my life. I've purchased copies for my friends (my copy is too marked up and tattered to loan) and recommended it to acquaintances. If you've hit bottom or are ready for a change, this book will get you where you want to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book on making the right choices in your life., February 1, 2001
By Freda J. Hill (Norcross, GA United States) - See all my reviews
This book is a very positive book on your choice for living regardless of your circumstance or situation. In this fast paced society, it's hard to take time to stop, slow down and get out of the rat race. Bottom line is this is a book that shows you exactly how to cope with everyday stress in life. It helps you to change and create a positive mindset even when your world is in turmoil.
