Product Description
by Pauline Belton (Author)
"I didn't even realize my body was shutting down until it screamed loud enough for me to listen."
In Navigating Stress in the Workplace, Dr. Pauline Belton shares her own wake-up calls: vision loss, months of unexplained hives, and complete burnout, to expose what unchecked stress really does to high-achieving professionals. Drawing on years of experience as a counselor, school administrator, consultant, and therapist, she reframes stress not as "the price of ambition," but as a powerful internal signal we were never taught to read.
Through her practical 3 A's of Resilience: Awareness, Action, and Adaptation, Dr. Belton helps you distinguish everyday stressors from your actual stress response: tell the difference between growth pressure and breaking pressure, and interrupt the "False Alarm Economy" that keeps your nervous system in constant emergency mode. You'll learn how to recognize your unique stress signature, stop the emotional Takeover before it derails your decisions, and build resilience that protects both your career and your health.
Whether you work in education, government, healthcare, corporate, or entrepreneurship, this book is your step-by-step guide to reset your relationship with work, reclaim your energy, and finally succeed without sacrificing your body, mind, or relationships.
