Lifestyle and stress expert Paul Huljich shares 9 natural steps to overcome stress in his new book, Stress Pandemic, released nationwide today.

NEW YORK, July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Several years before Whole Foods brought healthy food to America's dinner tables, Paul Huljich cofounded an organic food company that was ahead of its time in his native New Zealand. He was chairman and CEO of Best Corporation when he had a complete mental breakdown—brought on by stress.  Since then Huljich has spent his life becoming an expert on how to manage stress—but not before being told he would never be cured of his mind condition.  Fourteen years later he is a drug-free stress conqueror, and he presents all that he has learned about mastering stress in his new book that launches today, Stress Pandemic: The Lifestyle Solution (Mwella Publishing, July 31, 2012).

"Stress has become a pandemic that affects everyone," says Huljich who wrote Stress Pandemic as a means for others to help them conquer their own stress. Having come to the United States to seek treatment at the Mayo Clinic and the Menninger Clinic, Huljich was told his mind condition would eventually break through his medications.  So Huljich decided to take matters into his own hands and began researching the causes of stress while listening to those who suffered from its effects to learn how to manage it. "Through trial and error, through research into all facets of health, and through interviewing and speaking with whomever I could find to talk to about health, I began to develop processes to rebuild myself," states Huljich.  The result is a book through which the American Institute of Stress claims, "We can all learn the valuable lesson to manage the stress in our lives, before we manage to ruin our health."

Hailed by Kirkus Reviews as "a commonsense guide to managing everyday stress" and by Publishers Weekly as "a valuable resource", Stress Pandemic outlines "9 Natural Steps" for becoming aware of the stressors in your life as well as empowering techniques to minimize their harmful health effects. Readers who learn and follow Huljich's uniquely powerful and integrated approach can live stress-free, in a natural and holistic way.  Huljich states, "Stress Pandemic contains the practical and powerful keys to mastering stress and living well that I have developed and refined over years of experience and research.  By implementing these lifestyle steps, you can free yourself from stress and enjoy optimal health and well-being.  It's never too late to start!" 

Huljich has set up generous donation plans to get the book into the hands of people struggling with various forms of stress, including those who have also suffered the health-effects of prolonged periods of stress.
