Career Stress

What do motivational speakers, salespeople, preachers, and lawyers have in common? They are all in the business of convincing people, and they do it well. In fact, they do it so well, that this is their job - to persuade people to "buy" what they are selling, whether it's an actual product, or a concept, a story, an ideology, etc.

If you sometimes feel anxious, it's normal. Occasional bouts of anxiety are normal as we sometimes face obstacles and problems in our life. But if you experience anxiety that is persistent and seemingly uncontrollable and overwhelming, it might be an anxiety disorder. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, anxiety disorder is the most common mental health disorder in the US, affecting close to 40 million adults.
