Description
Stress is an inevitable part of life. There are many books out there that seek to eliminate stress, but what about putting stress to work instead? Stress That Motivates introduces students to this revolutionary way of thinking through "self-talk secrets" and insights that will not only help them recognize their stress triggers but will motivate them to consciously change the way they think and react to stress. The revised edition of this course provides added guidance for practicing the Stress That Motivates system through revised case studies and Dru Scott's Quick-Start Set of Reinforcements. The expanded first half also includes a new toolkit for self-motivation in stressful situations.
