About the Author

Paul Huljich co-founded Best Corporation, a pioneering organic foods company of which he was chairman and joint-CEO.  In leading the company to great success, during which its value grew to more than $100 million, he eventually developed a number of severe stress-related conditions.  Ultimately, he was diagnosed by several psychiatrists in 1998 as suffering from bipoloar disorder as a result of years of unchecked stress.  That year, he experienced a full nervous breakdown, losing his rights as a citizen and being made a ward of the state.

Despite seeking the best care available, Huljich was informed that there was no cure and that he would inevitably relapse.  Determined to free himself of his conditions, he began a comprehensive search for answers.  He traveled to the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and admitted himself to the Menninger Clinic in Kansas.

Aided by exhaustive research, Huljich ultimately succeeded in mastering stress, overcoming his conditions and achieving a healthy, positive way of life by developing and implementing his nine-step overall wellness plan.

Since the year 2000, Huljich has not taken any medication related to his conditions, suffered any relapse nor needed any further treatment regarding any kind of mental illness.  He has fully cured himself and has never felt better.

Huljich’s previous book, Betrayal of Love and Freedom, a novel based in part on his experiences, addresses the subject of mental wellness.  He has been featured in Psychology Today, been interviewed by more than one hundred radio shows nationwide, made numerous television appearances and has been featured in more than 120 newspapers.

Huljich is the father of three sons: Mark, Simon and Richard.  He resides in New York City for most of the year and visits his homeland, New Zealand, regularly.

My Thoughts:

We all have stress in our lives, it is just how we handle this stress is the key. I think in this day and age what with all the conveniences of our digital world, we find ourselves having to constantly do more and more in a day. Stress affects our work, school and family and if not under control and handled by each and every one of us, we could find ourselves in the same situation as the author of Stress Pandemic, Paul Huljich, He suffered a complete mental breakdown. While in treatment Paul started doing research on stress and while doing so he wanted to share what he has learned by writing this book.

In the book Paul has outlined the nine steps to mastering stress: 

• Step 1: Take Charge 
• Step 2: Kick Your Bad habits
• Step 3: Learn to Say No
• Step 4: Affirmations
• Step 5:Exercise
• Step 6: Nutrition
• Step 7: Sleep
• Step 8: the Power of Awareness
• Step 9: Don't Give Up

In the back of the book there is a big section on resources, a glossary of terms used in the book, suggestions for breathing and stretching exercises, nutrition, sleep and some very interesting appendixes. I found this book to be very interesting, well thought out and researched and what I liked the most is that it was written by someone who actually had the mental illness caused by stress as opposed to something written by a self help guru who never experienced what Mr. Huljich has. I highly recommend it if you are wanting to change your life in a way that does not add to the stress you may already have.

I received a copy of this book for review from JKS Communications and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
