Abstract: Abstract Since gaining popularity in the 1970s and 1980s, the concept ‘stress’ has achieved the status of an overused term. It is readily identifiable as a state of being which is usually less than desirable and describes our state of physical and psychological arousal when pressures bear down on both our daily existence and our sense of well-being. In the context of turbulent times, this is highly relevant to many of us. The first part of this chapter will clarify what is meant by stress, highlighting the emotional and bodily experiences which are consistent with it as well as the impact on organizations and individuals.
