A chapter in People Management in Turbulent Times, 2009, pp 179-181 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract People get stressed at work. Thus there is a whole stress industry that services all those involved in treating, researching, and suing. Some want to persuade us that it is a chronic, acute, growing, and terrifying problem because it boosts their client revenues. Others are trying to downplay the whole business, preferring to acknowledge that stress, like death and taxes, is inevitable and (forgive the pun) overstressed.
