The book aims to inspire, as well as to educate. In the first part the author discusses stress, its sources and its effects, followed by the 'Ro' Method, a simple but complete problem solving process, and a number of examples and real life applications. Then, using a light, humorous and innovative style, the author describes the day of 'Don Stressote,' a modern Don Quichote de la Mancha and 'Ro' Method graduate, who attempts to apply the theory in everyday life situations. Armed with courage and stoicism, Don deals with the monsters and the dragons (the idiots) of the 21st century: his partner who entered the toilette first and is reading the newspaper insensible to the needs of others, the obese fellow in the elevator, the traffic jam, his stupid boss, the thick-skinned client, as well as the most difficult person among all – his own self and his irrational expectations... Don's positive state of mind, and his determination and focus on his pledge "I won't let any idiot ruin my day, 'cause this is my day!" together with a careful plan of action on how to deal with little annoyances and seemingly unsurpassable obstacles, is what distinguishes our hero from the average/normal citizen.
