Work anxiety leads to stress & not taking holidays

It's something that is probably obvious to those who have a job but work pressures are mounting as the recession goes on longer. (Those who argue the recession is over might want to talk to the staff at Comet stores this week.)

Today yet another stress story (YASS?) hits the newspapers, in this case the Daily Mail.

Elsewhere in the news we can find that those who lose their job are more likely to die of a heart attack in their first year out of work and that the secret of raising children who will become wealthy is to raise them to be happy.

There's no doubt that in spite of the material wealth in the country, it's difficult for many people to cope at the moment.
