4.0 out of 5 stars Recommendable book for easing stress, January 3, 2000

I bought this book in a discount store in Rotterdam (no, not at Amazon, sorry guys) and never regretted it. When stress threatens to get you in its grip, it is helpful to sit back and read one page, and make you aware of what is really valuable in life... health, sanity, relationships. Thank you, Amy.

This book was bought for me in 1997, the pages are worn as I have read it everyday since. There is always something that seems to fit my situation! What a difference it has made in my life!

This is an excellent book. I love it so much that I've given it as gifts to at least a dozen people. It has practical suggestions to deal with everyday stress. Highly recommend it.
