This book is the first to address the most urgent issues combining a solid basic research approach with applied individual and stress issues including interventions. Throughout the focus is on our latest knowledge about various causes of stress and its neuro-cognitive and biological implications. World-renowned authors from Europe as well as the US describe how stress affects the brain of young people as well as adults. They cover the topic from all perspectives showing how stress affects life in general from the societal and organizational level to the individual organ and molecular level. While the book clearly points out stress as a risk factor to health it also offers a number of evidence-based methods to cope with stress and even ride the positive energy of stress – both as an individual as well as what managers can do to create a healthy and productive workplace. Written in a reader-friendly and appealing style the book provides real-life examples from various laboratories as well as such events as the Volvo Ocean Race the largest around-the-globe sailing competition. Essential reading for clinicians and biologists as well as for a wide range of students including medicine and public health but also managers and HR staff. With a Foreword by Nobel Laureate Professor Arvid Carlsson (Medicine 2000).
