Stress, Success, And The Type A Report Card

Levitz/Sommers Productions/home video use only. Anyone who's familiar with Type "A" personalities (many of us need look no further than the mirror), will benefit from this excellent presentation on all facets of Type "A" behavior and stress. Over the past decade, the incidence of coronaries has increased 500%, and today 1 out of every 5 males will die of a heart attack before their 60th birthday. How bad are we ? Americans consume over 16,000 tons of aspirins per annum. Dr. Wayne Longfellow convincingly makes his case for the consequences of Type "A" behavior and increased stress, and examines the wide array of psychological stressors that modern man must contend with. The last third of the program is devoted to simple but effective remedies for cutting down stress. For corporate businessman, in particular, Longfellow points that the road to the top is strewn with the bodies of Type "A"s. It's the Type "B"s who end up as CEO's. This program provides a good mix of stats and pep talk on a perennially timely topic. Highly recommended for both business and general collections.
