By his own admission, David Schaeffer is now one of the most contented people he knows. So why is he writing books on the very serious topics of grief and stress? A short decade earlier, he was spiraling downwards under a weight of stress that had accumulated over many years. David writes this book from his discovery and recovery experiences. He uncovers three kinds of stress. The stress we choose, the stress that chooses us and everyday, unnecessary stress. He uses the tragedy of the 1998 Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race as a backdrop for many important things we all need to learn. In Stress Less Live More, David summarizes almost 100 years of research into this universal human condition and delivers it in a relaxing, sometimes humorous style.
