The Everything Ghost Book is very good and informative; I bought The Everything Stress Management Book because I thought it would be of the same quality. I was mistaken. The only thing I learned from this book is that farting and burping (together) -- yes, thats right, FARTING & BURPING -- are the 5th Worst Habit of Americans.

I bought this book hoping that it would help me reduce stress (I have an anxiety disorder and migraine headaches triggered by stress), the book itself made me even more tense, so much so, I did not finish it. I purchased it with the hopes that The Everything Stress Management Book would include instructions for stress reduction techniques. Instead, all Eve Adamson writes about these stress reduction techniques is to tell the reader to take a class about any number of techniques. She does spend quite a bit of time attacking people who take the easy way out, which I admit I do sometimes (i.e. picking up something to go for dinner rather than cooking it yourself, etc.). I barely have enough time to get all of my things done already; I don't have time for a class.

The reason that I purchased the book is so that I could practice stress reduction techniques in the privacy of my own home at anytime of the day or night. I was very disappointed.

I am a psychologist and use this book as an adjunct to the work we do in sessions. I use it for homework and I have recommended it to patients.

Very practical book, easy to read and very interesting. Larger print size makes for ease on the eyes. This is the type of book I could have used when I was studying my Stress Management Course. Very easy to understand. And the cover is "happy" too.

This book was recommended for a class in stress management coaching. It is very practical. It starts out as a workbook to teach how to recognize different forms of stress and then offers a variety of techniques that can be personalized. This book is a great reference book.

I reccomend this book to anyone who needs info on stress management. Simple, effective techniques to help you manage stress are easy to apply to your daily life.
