From Booklist
Stress is the human body's internal response to stressors–the feelings, situations, events, and other happenings that occur in our daily existence. Labeled the "epidemic of the eighties" by Time magazine (June 6, 1983), stress became recognized as the top health killer in America. According to more recent information from the American Institute of Stress, it remains a primary leading cause in medical mortalities.
