I am a stress management instructor looking for some new ideas. I teach quick-fix techniques for people to calm themselves during their busy lives, and so this book attracted me. This book however is a jokey book, with one line per two pages, so you can read the entire thing in 2 minutes. It gives you ideas to distract yourself for a minute from what ever is causing your stressful reactions, like make a paper airplane and send it across the room, or name as many teams you can in a sport. Childish ideas if you want to have a bit of a laugh, but if you are actually looking for something to deal with serious stress overload this is not the book for you.

Some of the suggestions would make me more stressed if I were to do them, but for the most part, it was interesting.

I found the book to be practical and it contained several helpful hints. It was a bit basic and did not seem to have any guidance for long term stress management.
