Great book...

I remember when the ideas from this text were taught back in the 1980's in a class at the University of Maryland called "Controlling Stress and Tension." I took the class from one of the authors and later became a T.A. in the class. This was one of the best courses I ever took at U of MD. I was an engineering major at the time and the professor knew that my future career would have alot of stress involved, so he tailored the paper I wrote to reflect these things. I had to research "Theory Z Management" (described briefly on Wikipedia) and how the principles from the class can help employees have a fulfilling work experience. Since that time, I have used the principles from the class throughout my engineering career, later in law school and, currently, in my career in patents. The principles are things I actually use in daily life and, at times, I have used them to give me the strength to go on when I thought I was completely spent. I wholeheartedly recommend this book and I thank the author for the teachings in that class.
