Stress is the name of the condition experienced by a person who is in a threatening situation, or he needs to kill another person, or he feels pain, fear, helplessness and a sense of powerlessness to influence his fate… Stress can make you insensitive to serious injury, provide inhuman forces to save a loved one, and can destroy your heart and immunity, push into the dark and suffocating abyss of the Great Depression.
So this book about him is about stress. And about the people who felt it. The author talks about the nature of what happens to a person during an extreme situation. There's a lot about hormones, the brain, and how they work together. But this is not a biology textbook! This is a guide for those who want to understand how stress affects each of us and how we can reduce that impact. It is about combat stress, pain, fear, the cost of killing, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and, if you will, stress resistance, because we can reduce the destructive effects of stress.
