Personally Speaking The world is speeding up--and it's taking us with it! Former generations never had to cope with the pressures we do. Job insecurity and competition in the marketplace have everyone from factory workers to CEOs under pressure to produce. More and more people must hold down several jobs just to make ends meet--and the pressure doesn't stop when the workday ends. Commuters spend hours in nerve-wracking traffic or crowded public transport. If they're parents, they go home to challenges their parents never imagined. Students' future job opportunities (and happiness, they're told) depend on them mastering an ever-increasing mass of information and keeping up with technology that's advancing at a dizzying pace. Movies, TV, music and advertising have nearly everyone trying harder than ever to be someone else-richer, more glamorous, more successful, more powerful, more famous. Who isn't stressed out these days? And if we don't have enough problems of our own, we're constantly subjected to "secondhand stress." Friends and co-workers, hurried shoppers, weary salespeople and the driver behind us are often more than willing to share their stress with us. Those who aren't living in the fast lane live in fear of being blown off the road by those who are. It seems there's no end to it! But it doesn't have to be that way. There's a sure and simple cure, and it doesn't cost a thing--no therapists, no drugs, no rigorous exercise routines, no rehab, no gadgets, no gimmicks. You'll feel better and be in better health, you'll get more done, you'll sleep better, you'll be happier, you'll get more out of life and you'll have more to give--and it only takes a few minutes a day.
