Howard Reiss has written BUSINESS STRESS RELIEF as a very useful gift for anyone in business. He has combined his real-life management experiences in three different careers with his unusual ability to see them from the humorous side of the desk. He wrote this book after conversations and lectures with many business people about how he used humor to relieve lots of stressful business situations. They often asked if he could organize them into a helpful book they could refer to when their stress levels at work were "way too high". They were not looking for a "joke" book, just funny ideas to relieve tension. They were frustrated because none of them had ever found anything with those qualities in bookstores or on the Internet. Their requests became his inspiration to write this book. His experience is best summarized by what he wrote in the introduction: "Humor must be tailored to each individual; because of the different ways that everyone perceives what is funny. But the principle is the same for all: when you imagine a business situation carried to a funny extreme, the real-life situation you're in always appears much less stressful!"
