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.

This review is from: Comprehensive Stress Management (Paperback)

Greenberg's latest edition of Comprehensive Stress Management is very easy to follow. With short chapters and a friendly tone, the content is very applicable for college students. I have been using this text in my stress management courses and the students have found it to be quite helpful. The lab exercises at the end of each chapter help the students connect the content to their own lives as they navigate through stress in college. Additionally, providing an extensive and lucid reference list at the end of each chapter is an excellent resource for all students. Although some of my students have found a few of the chapters self-explanatory, Greenberg does an excellent job of encompassing all aspects of understanding stress management.

This review is from: Comprehensive Stress Management (Kindle Edition)

I really wanted to download it to my kindle fire so I didn't have to lug my laptop around, and that's not an option for this book. Bummer since my favorite part of textbooks on kindle is the fact that it's so much lighter and carrying my laptop pretty much negates that benefit. I can't wait until more textbooks are available in truely hyper-portable capacities.
