Stress has been pinpointed as a major cause of illness. To avoid overload
and burnout, keep stress out of your life. Give it to others instead. Learn
the «Gaslight» treatment, the «Are you talking to me?» technique, and the
«Do you feel okay? You look pale.» approach. Start with negotiation and
implication. Advance to manipulation and humiliation. Above all, relax
and have a nice day.
