It is amazing that young people are talking about stress. This tells us that society as a whole has created an environment full of stress, anxiety, despondency and depression. I suppose young people are influenced by their parents, who are also under stress. Parents talk about problems that cause them stress and they don't pay attention to their children. Their parents lives are not very joyous because they worry too much about their economic position, social position, or their future. They are as ignorant as their children.

To reduce stress you must simply learn the Gita and change your way of life. Understand the purpose of life. We must understand each activity, our limitations and our potential to balance all of this. Society is working hard at it but it is leaning more towards stress because it has made it a business. People talk about physical pleasures and relaxation and then they go back to working like machines. There is no solution for reducing stress in society except learning temporarily how to manage it. The real way to reduce stress to cut down your greediness, lust and vanity.  Until we cut down these things and control them, stress is inevitable.
