Michaela Kršíková: How to avoid the Christmas blues

19. 12. 2025 Press & Stories NUG World Renáta Šejnová

The holiday season is often associated with peace and joy, yet it frequently brings pressure, exhaustion, and emotional strain. Michaela Kršíková from NEWTON University addresses this paradox in a commentary published in an economic magazine.

She explains why holiday stress emerges and offers practical insights into how to prevent it. Drawing on psychological perspectives, the article highlights the importance of setting realistic expectations, respecting personal boundaries, and allowing space to slow down. Christmas, she argues, does not need to be perfect to be meaningful.

The full commentary was published in the economic magazine e-news.cz.

Those first days are mainly about whether you meet the people who will make the whole experience worthwhile. That’s why we invited our incoming first-year students to informal meet-ups before the official start of the academic year.

In Týdeník Echo’s special report on real estate, Ondřej Průcha, CEO of Svoboda & Průcha and a lecturer at NEWTON University, explains why the pace of construction will be the decisive factor.

Survey: What did your university studies give you?

What remains when the textbooks are closed and the diploma is handed in? A survey by the weekly magazine Respekt shows that the greatest value of university education lies not only in knowledge itself, but in the ability to think in context, work with uncertainty, and meet people who fundamentally shape one’s professional and personal direction. Their perspectives are shared by graduates of Czech and international universities, including a student of NEWTON University.
