9781647823979 The Effect of Microstress: How Small Things Add Up and Create Big Problems–and What to Do About It Rob Cross and Karen Dillon

There’s a force we encounter every day that we’re not even aware of—and it threatens to derail good careers and lives: microstress. This hidden epidemic of small moments of stress insidiously seeps into our work and our personal lives with invisible but devastating effects. Microstress does not trigger our brain’s normal stress response to help us deal with it. Instead, it places itself in our thoughts and accumulates every day, one microstress on top of another. Unregistered microstress can weigh us down, damage our physical and emotional health, and contribute to a decrease in our well-being. What’s more, microstress is baked into our lives. The source is rarely a classic antagonist, such as a demanding client or an arrogant boss. Instead, it comes from the people we are closest to: our friends, family, and colleagues. The good news is that once you understand microstress, you can fight back.
