Answer
Human being in general, encounters stress throughout their life. In essence, stress can be related to a number of personal issues. The reasons and the causes of stress can usually be arranged into different categories such as physical, mental and social.
After reading several sources of stress discussed in the text, I came to the conclusion, that the type A behavior is one of the sources of stress that I was previously unaware. This type of stress can very often lead to coronary heart disease, resulting from insecurity and low self-esteem. So far, this reading has helped me identify new sources of stress such as irrational beliefs and type A behavior.
Reading this material, helped me have a better knowledge of the short-term stresses that we are exposed in our day-to-day life. Also, areas that need improvement in order to have a more effective and happier life.
