Boomerstress: Managing the Unique Stresses of the Boomer Generation

by David Pargman

Overview

No matter how much we age, the challenges we face daily never stop. Some are exciting and invigorating, others are scary and overwhelming. Some are easy to resolve and some are really tough to work through. That’s what life is all about – facing, recognizing, and somehow coping with everything that is thrown at us. As we age, the issues we face change and all too often we are completely unprepared to deal with them. This lack of readiness makes way for stress and as anxiety. These two conditions and how to handle them take center stage in this book.
Though they do share some signs and symptoms, stress and anxiety are not the same. Both are powerful influences in our lives, and yet not all stress is bad. Stress effects can be harnessed and made to work for us.
As we age our stress management abilities change and biological defenses weaken. This book addresses those changes that are specific to Baby Boomers. It teaches them to recognize the difference between stress and anxiety, how to shore up their defenses and to use stress in new and positive ways thus enabling them to live a healthier life and slide into their golden years.
Audiences:
* Baby Boomers and their children interested in their emotional well-being and its impact on overall health
* Professionals in the mental and health fields
* Health-related organizations
