Too many people in the workforce, particularly men, are Silent Warriors. They suffer through extreme stress, silently, month-after-month, and year-after-year.

The impact, is staggering.

1: A 2014 Great Britain Labour Force Survey shows that 39% of all work-relate illnesses were from work-related stress, depression or anxiety. Resulting in an average of 23 days per case of stress, depression or anxiety.

2: U.S. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ research findings warn business that  increasing job stress is responsible for an annual $10,000 per worker.

3: And among the nation’s top executives, the impact is even worse. $10 to $20 billion is lost each year through  absence, hospitalization and early death,
much of it a direct result of stress.

The taboo of admitting to being stressed has been “outed.”

And Andrea Wood Schmitz has a solution.
