Toxic Stress: And the 21st Century Blues

Over 30 years ago, in 1978, Dr Vernon Coleman wrote the first popular book on stress. Years later (in 1991) he realised that much of the stress to which we are exposed is part of our modern society - and cannot be managed with the usual stress control techniques. He invented the phrase 'toxic stress' to define this type of stress. He wrote 'Toxic Stress' to explain just how and why 'toxic stress' makes us ill and how it is different to ordinary stress. Toxic stress causes or exacerbates 90 per cent of all illness. This revised and updated edition shows how you can deal with it.Sunday Times bestselling author, Dr Vernon Coleman MB ChB DSc FRSA has written over 100 books which have sold over two million hardback and paperback copies in the UK alone - and have been translated into 25 languages and sold all over the world.Reviews of Toxic Stress:'I am going to get five copies so that I can put them in my lending library and lend them to as many people as I can.' - Health Consciousness'The good news is that toxic stress isn't hard to cure.
