This review is from: Smart Guide to Relieving Stress (Paperback)

There are many books on the market regarding stress. However, by the time a person has gotten through many of them, his or her stress level has risen as many are unorganized and generally off the mark.

Carole Bodger has written a book that avoids those pitfalls. Smart Guide to Relieving stress is an easy-to-read, well-organized book, well-documented book. Rather than pretending to be the expert, Ms. Bodger goes to the experts to get the best advice available for relieving stress. Yet, as she writes, everything is brought to the layman's level. A dictionary is not need to understand what is being said.

This book is not only informational; it is practical, too. Techniques are offered for stress reduction. Many are common sense. One stress reducer that is offered is exercise. Other techniques are less familiar. Ms. Bodger talks about choosing colors carefully to enhance well-being.

This is not a book to be read cover to cover. Instead, it is a book to keep close at hand so that you may refer to it time and time again.
