Think Like a Freak offers practical solutions to real problems by teaching readers how to train their brains to think in new and unique ways and how to think freely in a world shrouded by the color of bias. Levitt and Dubner use real-life examples to illustrate and simplify the concepts they discuss in Think Like a Freak. The authors’ insight into human thinking, behavior, and motivation is presented in a way that is applicable to situations and problems in everyday life. Levitt and Dubner explain that selfish incentives are not the same as communal incentives when considering how to solve a problem. Most people are naturally inclined to put their interests before the interests of other people.…
The majority of the stress that we deal with in our lives is a result of daily hassle that we experience. Daily hassle may be living in a noisy neighborhood, waiting in a long line, failing a quiz or exam, or failing a class in school. Circumstances like these may cause mild, short-term stress. Major changes in an adults live may include the loss of a job, imprisonment, or going through a divorce. Catastrophic events are the most extreme example of stress. This takes place when a person experiences a life-threatening event, such as surviving a natural disaster, sexual assault, an automobile accident, violent physical attacks or losing a love one. Recognizing and accepting the symptoms of stress maybe the first step in relieving yourself of stress. Early signs of stress may be frequent headaches, tense muscles, an increase in your heartbeat, unexplained sweating, stomach pains, and/or cold hands. These effects may be caused by the daily hassles of a person’s everyday life. On a more serious level, stress may also cause much more serious effects that may require for a person to consult with a doctor or psychologist, such as hypertension (high blood pressure), heart disease,…

The link between time management and stress is that if you manage your time wisely, you lower your stress rate. Being able to get your tasks done on time, or within a reasonable amount of time, allows you to stay focused and not stress about not having enough time to get everything done. When you wait until the last minute and try to cram everything into a short amount of time causes people to feel the pressure of getting it all done and that causes stress.…
I am a person who has “strong feelings about obstacles and challenges at work” (Career Feedback Report 13), and does not deal with stress very well. One example of this is during these past two weeks for exams. I had four exams so far, which all contributed to my stress levels rising. I had problems dealing with so many exams, that the stress sometimes made it hard to study and concentrate.…

Whoever said life was going to be easy, the sooner everyone learns that the better off they will be. Life in itself is very stressful, but when you throw in being a wife, mother, student and employee it’s almost too much to bear. In order to deal with everything I must do I have a calendar with everything on it and how much time needs to be spent. Now, where should I begin? I’m a wife and therefore I must make sure my husband has clean work clothes and food for work. We all know how men don’t like to do their own laundry or cook. At least my husband doesn’t like to. Don’t get me started on trying to keep my house clean with him and my animals, it’s like a tornado hits this place just about every other day. Dirty dishes, clothes, cat toys, food, cat litter anything you can just about think of. I also feed and clean up after the animals; I have five cats inside, two chameleons, and a cat outside. I must wake up every morning at 7 AM to feed them. I’m their mother now so they all depend on me. If all that is not enough I must also work for a living. I clean a local movie theater in my town. I’ll tell you right now, if everything I deal with at home isn’t stressful enough when I get to work and walk through those doors the stress slaps me in the face. I just don’t understand how people can be so nasty. The restrooms are another story, they are so gross. I have never realized how dirty and inconsiderate people really are and that makes my life stressful when I have to pick up after all them. With all that being said I how could I possibly find any time to do my school work but I always seem to do it. It’s very hard to do daily things then try and set down to do homework, especially the section I’m doing now with writing. I get so stressed out because I get very aggravated when I try and write because I’m not good at it. It seems to take me forever to get it done and that makes me just want to throw the pen and paper down and quit. But I seem to figure out a way to get…
There are several concepts in people’s everyday lives that can lead to stress. Some of life’s stresses that have affected me are attending school, raising my daughter alone, cleaning, and maintaining a healthy relationship with my husband.

One of the big problems with being late is that your coworkers notice when you are late an even more so when you make excuses for being late in the first place. When someone is late they immediately make a bad image for themselves, especially when it becomes a pattern. When this pattern occurs one will notice that they are being tasked out more for less desirable tasks in the workplace. Some people…
Although I had quite a few high stressful occurrences, I would have to say the one I stress more and more about would be job searching and money. I have been unemployed for 2 years and it seems like no matter what I do I can not find a job to save my life. I want nothing more to make things easier for my husband who is the money maker. I hate living pay check to pay check. I think that the only thing that could make this less stressful is actually getting a job to help out a little bit. I have been job searching at least 2 days a week for the past 2 months. I could stop being picky and just take what I can get but, I would love to get into the medical field. I have my STNA license and I was a home health aide, these are the jobs I love doing. I really need to start searching harder and more. When I do find a job I just know that my stress level will drop tremendously.…
Another hassle event that scored at least 2 on frequency and has many impacts was future plans. I stress about my future plans because I look at my family who are all lower class and struggling every day to make it. They have no money and often have to choose what bills to pay and which to put off. Watching them live that way makes me want to better myself. I think to…
