This book discusses the principles of self- and stress-management by offering direct suggestions for controlling one's own behavior.First, the author introduces a three-phase model of self-regulation and relates it to the job of teaching. Then, in a sort of interactive dialogue, the author develops individual action strategies for each phase of the model, suggesting along the way a number of ways to relieve and manage stress. The volume also offers manifold tips, checklists and strategic references to help put the content into action in one's own daily life.
