The male stress survival guide

by Georgia Witkin

In the first update since 1994, this essential book (over 100,000 copies sold) covers such 21st century concerns as terrorism, job fluidity, and sexual performance, from the director of the Stress Program at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York. In this valuable, easy-to-read book, Dr. Witkin explains why men develop the stress symptoms they do; how stress affects their bodies, careers, families, personal goals and expectations; why they are particularly vulnerable to certain types of stress and not to others; and how to improve the quality and prolong the length of their lives. Her practical strategies include how to measure your stress level, uncover ten potent hidden stressors, utilize sex therapy techniques, learn how to make stress work for you, and tips for reducing Type A behavior.
