The book – Modern Life and Stress – reveals various vicissitudes of a modern man who is swayed by materialism all around him and is running blindly for accumulating money. He runs at a faster pace to be ahead of others and in the process adopts shortcuts ignoring all principles of finer human values. He neglects his family, friends and neighbours and ultimately his search for happiness in money and acquisition of palatial house, fleet of big cars, branded apparels and other costly products turns out to be an illusion. Happiness actually lies not in greed but in contentment, hard work and service of others. This book helps the readers develop positive attitude and overcome stress which is a common phenomenon today.

Under the shadow of materialism, the modern man has the sole aim of making more and more money for which he adopts unethical means even. In the process, he ignores his friends, family and himself. Away from the roots, feelings of anonymity and alienation overtake him. Lost in crowd, he feels lonely and depressed. The authors, very correctly, point out the ailments of men of today and suggest ways and means to successfully beat stress arising in modern life.

The book – Modern Life and Stress – deals with the problems of modern man which confront him round the clock. It is highly thought-provoking and is a challenge to the modern man to introspect the causes of his plight and to re-fix the goals of his life instead of falling a victim to the endless and pointless race in pursuit of money. By joining the maddening crowd, he leaves his near and dear ones in isolation. Such a man soon faces bewilderment, and the state of loneliness pushes him into the quagmire of stresses and strains. The mantras of happiness suggested by the learned authors are to believe in the earnings of hard and honest work, leading a contented life and to be of service to the poor and downtrodden.
