Edward Hallowell Quotes
People associate hard work and overload with stress. But, like suffering, stress is complicated. Bad stress is stress that a system can't endure without suffering damage. It is unplanned, uncontrolled, allows no time for rest and recovery, and exceeds the capacity of the system to adjust to it. As the popular phrase suggests, it burns people out and, over time, it can decimate an entire workforce.

We are not carelessly designed creatures. Everything about us has purpose, logic and intelligence built into it, including how and why we become ill.
