THE INDIVIDUAL
Most of the stress we experience is self-generated. How we perceive life - whether an event makes us feel threatened or stimulated, encouraged or discouraged, happy or sad - depends to a large extent on how we perceive ourselves.
Self-generated stress is something of a paradox, because so many people think of external causes when they are upset.
