Preface to the Book
Stress be called a paradise too ! Yep, some of us become so attuned to live with stress that life appears to be hollow without it. More so, some others claim aloud that they perform better under stress. Let such misnomers be given some respite whilst this book is gone through.
Alike stress there are many words, which need not be defined, mere understanding of meaning is enough. Nor is my endeavor to go into the nitty-gritty of definition and critique here, as the stakes involved here are much higher. And also, there shall be other thousands of documents defining the meaning of stress, anyway.
Excuse me for using ‘I’ and ‘You’ frequently in this book. In case, one feels offended, ‘You’ may be substituted with ‘They’.  There should be no quarrel with ‘I’, I trust so.
Whatever is written in this book is written with sheer hope that it shall not be equated with gospel word since there might be few exceptions. Believe me; my intentions are quite honorable in not propounding any undeniable theory.
Pardon me in stating that this book is not for the academicians for their professional use who specialize in the field of stress. I apologize.  Rather, this is for the commoners like me who enjoy venturing into unexplored new frontiers, joyfully. So, don’t get stressed that a piece of parched science is before you, just read it at leisure and be amused.
