The author of the book provides a comprehensive examination of
stress, an integral part of people's lives. In the first chapter,
he reviews the 20th-century theories of stress, from biological
mechanisms of stress through medical concepts to contemporary
models of psychological stress. The second chapter provides a
detailed classification of sources of stress, based on physical,
chronobiological, psychological and social factors. In the third
chapter, the author focuses on reactions to stress and presents
them from physiological, emotional, cognitive and behavioral
perspectives. The fourth chapter focuses on two theoretical
constructs: resistance to stress and coping with stress. The author
presents task-oriented, emotion-oriented and avoidance-oriented
strategies of coping with stress and underlines the role of social
support in dealing with stress. The author emphasizes the fact that
stress has many faces. It can be seen as "eustress", which has an
important motivational function, forcing us to make efforts and
achieve life goals, or "distress", which distracts us from
achieving our goals and comfort of life.
