This book defines stress, reviews stress models, clarifies neurobiology, and explores how cognition and societal forces influence experience. It applies complexity theory to provide a systems perspective on the dynamic and interconnected nature of stress. With an in-depth exploration of the evolving landscape of future work in the final section, the book presents a comprehensive and practical approach to building both individual and organizational resilience and serves as a guide to strategies, skills, and frameworks that can transform a workplace from a source of stress into an environment of lasting well-being and high performance. Essential reading for health professionals, HR personnel, executives, managers, and educators dedicated to achieving performance without undue human cost, this book outlines a course toward a future where technology and new ways of working support human well-being rather than undermine it.
