Abstract
Stress is a worldwide problem that seems to have emerged and on the way to peak in this century. Nevertheless it may also change our lives, in a positive direction, when we learn to balance it. Almost everyone knows about stress, either from themselves or from others, and yet the stress experience is very individual, although it is triggered in the same way. What is behind these seemingly contradictions? What great gifts might be hidden behind stress? Why do we increasingly stress, and why do we get stress related diseases? How may we all contribute to reduce stress? I hope that during the congress we may support each other in becoming wiser on these opening questions. I will initiate with my experiences and propositions.
