Today so much of our lives are spent in the office. The
corporate jungle takes an unimaginable toll on the heart. The endless
deadlines, the deadly competitiveness, going from one crisis to another,
negatively impact the body. Nature’s ultimate survival mechanism of fight or
flight becomes a chronic response. Such a response is like using an atom bomb
to kill an ant—totally inappropriate. Due to the modern urge to change jobs
rapidly, many executives find themselves in threatening environments surrounded
by potential enemies. They have had no time to develop friends or trusted
supports. Every day they walk into the modern equivalent of a jungle infested
with wild animals and danger. Family support systems are far away. Nuclear
families build up explosive pressure due to a revolution of rising
expectations, fuelled by the media.
