There are many self-help gurus out there that will help you get rid of stress, but you better be careful which Coaches you choose and which Gurus you are willing to listen too. Perhaps, you heard not long ago about a self-help guru who was helping a very large group of middle-class Americans cope with their stress, during a retreat in Sedona Arizona. He took them all into a sweathouse located on the hotel property, and two of his followers died from dehydration.

Apparently, his warrior challenge ended up killing two of those stressed-out middle class yuppies, who were trying to cure themselves of all the challenges in their lives. One has to ask, why everybody is so concerned with stress, it is a fact of life. All the species on this planet deal with stress. Our house plants deal with stress due to their environment, so do the plants in the yard based on the ambient outside atmospheric temperature.

All wild animals deal with stress, can't you tell they are very fidgety worried about getting eaten? Stress is part of the human species, and there is nothing wrong with it. If you are stressed-out, it should be calling you to action, and you should be using that stress to accomplish things, achieve things, or to protect yourself and your family against whatever fear that you are feeling.

One of our most important resource is in life is Stress. And stress is a very serious thing, without it you wouldn't stand a chance of survival. Those folks who are so stressed out, are most likely stressed out because they had been convinced by society and civilization, and some guru that they need to get rid of their stress, but why?

There's nothing wrong with stress. Imagine how stressed out all the families are of those individuals who died? Sounds to me like our self-help guru purposely created fear, and stress in his followers. For this they paid him $9000 for that retreat and sweathouse session and many of them almost died, and two of them did. Please consider all this.
