Although most people are richer than in the past, modern life seems very stressful and the number of people suffering from stress is at record levels. What are the main causes of stress in modern life, and how could stress be reduced?

Compared to the past, people are living an extremely comfortable and modern life, along with the stress that we have to face. However, when looking into specifics, you will find that there are many reasons why people feel pressured. In this essay, I will analyze the causes and the best solutions to reduce stress and make life more pleasant. First of all, people's stress comes from their material desires. Although most people's economic conditions are much better now than before, everyone wants more than they have. Perhaps that is why many people experience stress when they are carried away by the heavy pressures of life. Besides, not only the pressure from the external glamor of life, some adults also have to support the whole family. We all admit that although life is much better now, many people face a lot of financial difficulties, they also have to bear the burden of family, friends or relatives. In some cases, they have to become self-financed very early and do not receive any support or subsidies. On the other hand, they may not be stressed financially, but mentally. People are very vulnerable, maybe they have faced many bad things in life, whether it comes from work, love, family or themselves. They feel lonely in their own lives, have many sad stories but have to keep them in their hearts and don't know to tell anyone. There are people who isolate themselves, trust no one, and suffer their own injuries. Such people no matter how rich they are, life is still full of stress for them.
