I have devoted this section to providing you with information that is aimed at enhancing your psychological health and wellbeing. I cover a variety of subjects and provide you with many tips and ideas you can use in your own life. By sharing this information with you, I hope it will empower and enhance your life in some way.

 

In my articles, ezine and blog, I try to provide you with informative material as well as tips and ideas that you can use in your own life. Of course, not all that you read will be relevant to you. As such, they should be regarded as general guides only.

 

I also recommend books that I think will be of interest to you. Such books promote happiness and welbeing.

Experiencing stress in the workplace has been shown to increase the risk of heart disease for women under 50 years of age. Research conducted at Glostrup University Hospital in Denmark and published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine has found the link and say the effect is greater for younger women. 12,000 female nurses took part in the study. They were aged between 45 and 64 and their health was followed for 15 years. Those women who rated work pressure as "much too high" were 35% more likely to develop heart disease than those who coped better with the pressure. This finding was in place even after accounting for other risk factors such as smoking and diabetes. When the researchers looked at age differences, it was the younger women who were most affected.The researchers suggest that as women get older other risk factors become more important.

 

My book Promoting Happiness has chapters dedicated to both work satisfaction and stress and stress management.
