By assimilating and improving stress management techniques, we may achieve the freedom to pursue our happiness and success.Positive thinking- An ability that is derived from education and it is enforced by practice. Optimism can be transformed in a personal statement, to make threats become opportunities for developing and learning new skills. Attitude and mentality are the greatest treasures a man can have and if they are healthy, all our results will be as our beliefs.Emotions- Assertiveness as a manner of properly communicating emotions, needs, fears or weaknesses. Assertive communication generates efficiency, acceptance, and constructive negotiations. This book attempts to explain why people become their own emotion's slaves and refuse to step out from their comfort area, to face reality. Comfort zone is the Trojan horse for which people chose to destroy the walls of their own fortress in order to willingly invite in destruction or stagnation. People should not wait for the hardships of life to push them out of their comfort zone and to react to dramas. On the contrary, stepping out of the comfortable state should be done voluntarily, by raising awareness of its dangers. That does not mean that people could never be happy with what they have. Instead it means that people posses the necessary resources that allow them to aim for the better.
