This well-written book is set up in 52 very brief chapters... you seriously tackle one issue a week. (Laura Hardy Arkansas Democrat-Gazette )

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all time favorite books!, September 14, 2008

By	No Sparks Here (Conshohocken, PA United States) - See all my reviews

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!
