Abstract
In 2017, the work of Prof. Jan F. Terelak, PhD, Stres życia. Perspektywa psychologiczna (The Stress of Life. A Psychological Perspective) was published. The title refers directly to the groundbreaking work by Hans Selye - Stress of Life, because the author started his work in 2013 and wanted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the publication of the Polish translation of Selye's book [1]. Review of the scientific book by Prof. Jan F. Terelak, PhD was written by Rev. Prof. Zenon Uchnast, PhD and Iwona Niewiadomska, PhD, Prof. of the Lublin Catholic University. This is another publication in the author's achievements concerning the broadly understood psychology of stress. Previous works were addressed to professional psychologists, while the present study is a textbook and is addressed to students of social, pedagogical and medical sciences, as well as representatives of various professions dealing with the so-called stress factors. The contents and layout of the book have been adapted for teaching purposes: each chapter ends with a summary, revision questions and bibliographic guidelines. In order to make it more attractive, many colorful graphics and photos have been included.
