5.0 out of 5 stars You can live a stress free life - I do., March 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The 14 Day Stress Cure: A New Approach for Dealing With Stress That Can Change Your Life (Paperback)

My stress level disappeared after reading this book. I realized that stress was a meaningless word and that whenever I felt "stressed", I needed to identify the specific problem that was affecting me. As I identify my problems (when I drive too fast and people do not use their turn signals, I get upset), I can readily see my part in causing the stress (I was driving too fast) and the "stress" goes away. My life did not change easily. I still have to remind myself of the conversations or techniques in the book (years later), but when I remember - no stress. Overall, I react much less with "stress" and am happier since working with this book.

Purchased this book upon the recommendation of a friend. I quickly ordered it from Amazon believing I was getting the best possible price. I paid 24.95 which was somewhat expensive for a paperback book. After receiving the book, I noticed on the back what appeared to be black magic marker. I took a small amount of rubbing alcohol and wiped the magic marker away. To my suprise I found $13.95 printed in white text.

So - I buy a new book from Amazon for $24.95 and find out that the publisher sells it for $13.95. Im ok with some profit but this is abosolute gouging - also the magic marker trick was an insult - we are all adults here - lets act like it and be professional in the way we conduct business and treat customers fairly.

5.0 out of 5 stars So good it started a study group, July 30, 2002

The 14 day stress cure made such a difference in the lives of 3 wmen that they meet for dinner occasionally and talk about how to tell other people about the book and what it can do to enhance your life and the quality of lives of people around you. Between the 3, we have handled problems of anger, guilt and shyness, decreasing the level of what we used to call stress to virtually nil.
