5.0 out of 5 stars This book is both easy to read and an excelent resource., February 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Comprehensive Stress Management (Stress Management/Mental Health) (Paperback)

I have been teaching stress management at the undergraduate level for about three years now and find this book to be an excelent resource for undergraduates. It is very easy to read and gives a great deal of information about the practicle application of stress management techniques. Those who plan on teaching a course in stress management would be well advised to have a good deal of supplementary material on hand as this book is directed toward the intro student and is not informative enough to develop lectures from. This is one textbook that students consistantly give high ratings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive Stress Management book, January 19, 2009

This review is from: Comprehensive Stress Management (Paperback)

I ordered this book because it was required for a college course I am taking. However, I have found that it is, overall, a good book, in general, to have. It goes into specifics on stress and how to manage it. If you are a stressful person and have a hard time figuring out how to manage it all, this is the book for you! Or even if you have loved ones that you know that have issues with stress or certain ailments, this book goes into what you can do to help.

2.0 out of 5 stars Talk about sex and stress, March 29, 2008

This review is from: Comprehensive Stress Management (Paperback)

Almost every example and story Mr. Greenberg relates in this book has some sexual/romantic/dating overtone to it. I found this quite funny actually.
As it's title suggests, it's a read about how to reduce stress and learn to relax and smell the roses. There are chapters on meditation to spirituality to biofeedback and of course different forms of stress. He begins most chapters with experiences that he's either had or know of someone who has experienced it.
