This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Beating Stress (Mass Market Paperback)

I feel better already. What is different about this guide to managing stress is that it acknowledges that each of us is different and that what works to relax one person might not be the most effective strategy for another. The author approaches stress management from every angle -- from cognition to nutrition; from meditation and spirituality to aerobic exercise, laughter, and healthy "play." If you're into yoga, that works, but if you're not so inclined you will be glad to find out you might get just as relaxed by renting DVDs of your favorite comedies on a regular basis. The last part of the book is a workbook-based customizable program that will help you achieve a greater sense of control over your life and a more optimistic outlook in about a month. Start today!
