Keeping Sane in a Stressful World

About this book

Abolish stress. Rediscover joy. Replenish your energy.

In Crazy Busy acclaimed psychologist Thijs Launspach examines why we often work ourselves to the bone and what we can do to prevent this. He explains how to cope with stress and create more peace and calm in your life. He draws on the latest scientific knowledge, the methods used by experts and the stories told by those who have learned the hard way what stress can do to both body and mind. All to provide you with the answer to the question: how can you free yourself from a life of stress?

A full diary and no time to think; the feeling that you are always playing catch-up and never quite hitting the mark: our lives today are almost invariably crazy busy. Being busy is one of the hallmarks of the modern era. But the pressure is taking its toll on us.

The number of burnouts has risen dramatically over the past ten years. In fact, it has now reached epidemic proportions: approximately one in seven of all workers suffers badly from stress or has been forced to take a break from work because of stress-related complaints. And even if you don't reach the actual burnout stage, stress can still make your life a lot less enjoyable.

Why are our lives so hectic? Have we all become workaholics? Why are we so susceptible to FOMO (the Fear Of Missing Out)? And most importantly, what can you do to cope with the stress in your life and prevent a burnout?

Do you find yourself rushing to get things finished more than once a week?
Do others often offer you well-intentioned advice on 'how to slow things down a little'.
Do you ever suspect that the stress you feel prevents you from being as happy as you would like to be?
Are you more addicted to your smartphone than you would care to admit? Is it the first thing you reach for when you wake up in the morning?
Do you often find yourself longing to stop and take a break from it all?

If your answer to one or more of these questions is 'Yes', then this is the book for you.
