Synopsis

Popular author Taylor Clark draws on cutting-edge research in this enlightening exploration of stress-and how to tackle it constructively. Using such divergent examples as Russian sub commanders and game show contestants, Clark shows that most people experience stress the same way. Those who understand how to accept it without freezing can accomplish what needs to get done. "The author makes some shrewd observations [and] he really knows how to write, too: the book is informative, engaging, and, in quite a few places, funny."-Booklist
