Short-term stress is actually beneficial, when it is not recurring or chronic. When you encounter stress for just a few minutes, or even an hour, your fight or flight response is triggered. When this happens, the hormonal and chemical calls to action in your body are positive. You are highly alert and aware. All your senses come alive. Your brain function improves substantially. You have detected stress of some kind, so your immune system immediately responds. There are studies which show that this type of short-term stress can instantly improve your body's natural defense system, and help you ward off disease and infection. Now imagine that situation over the long term. Your senses are hyper-alert for days, weeks and months, instead of just a few minutes or hours at a time. There are no significant rest periods between your stressful states. This is when stress leads to burnout. Studies on brain chemistry show that burnout can cause long-lasting neurological problems. Your brain controls everything you do. Your brain is crucial for normal bodily function, and is the core of what allows you to exist. A normally functioning brain is so important to human survival that a lack of brainwave activity is one of the requirements for a declaration of death. Burnout can cause negative changes in your brain chemistry that, if left untreated, can do lifelong damage. In my book, I show you how to identify excess stress, cope with it and prevent it from happening again in the future.

I grew up in Central Minnesota, where my parents owned and operated a fishing resort. Once out of high school I tried a couple of semesters of college, only to quit halfway through the Spring term; I decided at that time that college wasn't for me. Then I decided to follow my father's previous occupation as an auto mechanic. I graduated from a two-year of vocational training course and worked as a mechanic for five years. While in vocational training, I decided to join the National Guard where I eventually ended up working full-time for 32 years. So how does all of this relate to writing? In one of my leadership schools, the instructor, who was an English teacher at a juvenile detention center, presented writing to me in a whole new way - a way that started to develop my interest in working with words. I eventually went back to college on the GI Bill while I was working and earned my Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. Taking a class or two per semester at night and on weekends took me seven years to complete my degree. Fast forward about 40 years and I now have published over 75 books on Amazon for Kindle, CreateSpace and other publishing platforms. Besides my own writing, I also ghostwrite ebooks, reports, articles, blogs and do Kindle conversions for clients on a variety of topics, but tend to focus on health and fitness. Today my wife and I are retired from our careers and live in Gold Canyon, AZ. I now write as a retirement business where you'll find me happily sitting in my office typing away on my laptop as I work on my next book or ghostwriting project . . . that is if we are not traveling on a cruise ship - our new-found mode of travel.
