5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Eye Opening, August 3, 2005

This review is from: 1,001 Ways to Relax: An Illustrated Guide to Reducing Stress (Paperback)

When I bought my copy of this book, it was lying haphazardly on a shelf and it was the last copy in store. I started browsing through it and actually sat down in the store for half and hour to read all of the clever, enlightening things the books has to say. This book isn't all about relaxation. It's sections are: Mornings, Dealing with Stress, Positive Change, Mind and Spirit, Body, The Peaceful Home, Work, People, Creativity and Play, and Evenings. Just reading through this book makes me happy. Each little passage will help in some way. I have already recommended it to my friends...even the ones who hate to read!

This is a wonderful book to carry around with you and read parts of it during the time you spend at the bank line, for your doctor's appointment, waiting for someone to arrive......It's packed with good sugestions on how to relax on an everyday basis with simple ideas that bring you peace and relaxation. The author uses simple language and a nice approach to help the reader.
