Book Description

March 6, 2004
"If we take control of the things we do control, we'll have much more energy and resilience to deal with the other stressors in our lives."
- David Posen, MD

Intense stress is an integral part of modern life. In controlled doses, stress helps individuals to think faster and perform better, but left unchecked and unbalanced, it leads to fatigue, helplessness and a variety of unfortunate health complications.

The Little Book of Stress Relief is a practical book that changes the fundamental thinking and habitual lifestyle choices contributing to heightened stress levels. There are helpful tips for making informed choices, adjusting how we think and taking the necessary steps to regain control.

Organized in 52 short chapters -- one for each week of the year -- the book isolates specific causes of stress and provides detailed yet useful advice and tips for overcoming them. Easy-to-follow activities and exercises lead to the right amount of sleep, deal with procrastination and perfect the art of setting priorities.

The Little Book of Stress Relief explains how small changes to relieve stress have a positive effect on quality of life.

Of particular importance in high-pressure environments is advice for isolating other people's stress.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all time favorite books!, September 14, 2008
By 
Kim (Conshohocken, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Little Book of Stress Relief (Paperback)
I think I've only done one review in my life so far, but I felt compelled to write a review for this book after I saw that only one person reviewed it! I love this book! I'm surprised to see that not many other people have reviewed it! It is a simple, easy read, with each 'chapter' only consisting of 2-3 pages at most. Each topic/chapter is well-written with good examples and action-items at the end for you to take (if you wish). The best part about this book is you can scan through and just pick a topic that you are having problems with, and read that topic only. However, I find that once I read one topic, I can't help but go to the next topic. I find myself going back to this book every 6 months to re-read it, just to remind myself of the little things I can do to help relieve my stress and make my life a little better. He provides actual concrete solutions and exercises rather than just ramble on about the theory behind why you're stressed. This is one of those books that I'll keep in my bookcase for years to come. If you have any bit of stress, this book is for you!

4.0 out of 5 stars Part of our Wellness Program, November 23, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I am Chair of our Wellness Committee at work and use this book to include bits and pieces in our company newsletter and throughout the week to help staff understand they are not along and that stress can be handled. So far I think it is working great, I appreciate the articles are short and to the point and that allows me to highlight important points without writing a page of information. I would recommend this book, thank you.
