5.0 out of 5 stars
Humor, still the best medicine!,
By Sue Van (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Practice Safe Stress: Healing & Laughing in the Face of Stress, Burnout + Depression (Paperback)
After becoming acquainted with Mark Gorkin, "The Stress Doc" through his e-newsletter, I purchased "Practice Safe Stress" and it is wonderful. Mark's writing has amazing insight into the soul of anyone facing or recovering from stress related burnout.His essays, poems, songs and anecdotes allow the reader to relate to his or her own struggle to find life's balance. Mark's book has helped me through a slow and somewhat painful process through grief to recovery and planning. This is a book that has earned its place in my permanent library, Thank you Mark for your continued words of wisdom.
