This book was developed for the 2005 International Stress Management Association Conference in Brazil. The original bookwas recently published in Portuguese, but because of the popularity of the topics and the world-renowned stress scholars whocontributed chapters, we are very pleased to have the opportunity to publish this work in English. A book on the subject is intended to be an additional tool containing information on stress and ways of dealing with pressuresand demands, because we know that the level of stress will continue to increase. We believe that only through information-and here you will be able to find the experience and opinion of some of the greatest and best professionals of the world in thisfield-people will manage to live better and more balanced lives. This is what ISMA-BR wishes and hopes for. Have a goodreading.
