In a world of so much attention to hardware and software, Dr. Weil shows you how to:

"Though more and more people are choosing to use certain forms of technology, TechnoStress across the board is on the increase." "Whether people are intimidated by technology or love technology - or are somewhere in the middle - they feel more stress because of Boundary Invasion and Multitasking Madness." -- Dr. Michelle M. Weil as quoted in Workforce Magazine

"People compare themselves to the technology. ... It seems so alive. It talks to you, it flashes in your face ... Users, especially the more hesitant ones, take the glitches personally, because of the perception that technology never fails." -- Dr. Michelle M. Weil as quoted in Newsweek

"In the end, addressing technostress is a commercial imperative. The industry has exhausted the supply of buyers willing to put up with complex and alienating products." Peter McGrath, Senior Editor, Newsweek

Dr. Weil offers her visionary "cures" through her:

"When I first heard about the game Majestic -- and I can't even call it a game; it's an experience -- I had two reactions: First, extreme fascination, [a] sense of awe on how comprehensively they have thought through the experience...Second is the feeling of boundary invasion. How is the person going to not be too consumed?" Dr. Weil suggests players set limits while playing any video or PC game. She says that players need to know how long they can afford to play the game before it affects everyday activities. She also said that if a player starts dreaming about the game, that's a good indication that he or she needs to take a step back and do something "unconnected" for a while, and that people should "keep a balance between techno lives and non-techno lives."

"Most people use about 35% of the capacity of any one technology," says Michelle Weil, a psychologist and product-design consultant, "and then they stop." -- Dr. Michelle M. Weil as quoted in the cover story "Overwhelmed by Technology"
