5.0 out of 5 stars Still great after all these years!, December 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Stress Management for Lawyers: How to Increase Personal & Professional Satisfaction in the Law (Paperback)

Even though this book was published in 1997, it is still very timely. After all, the type of stress that lawyers endure hasn't changed and neither have the techniques used to overcome it. I recently re-read it and gave it to a friend (another lawyer) to read- both of us were very glad that we did. It's the kind of book you read every time life seems overwhelming and too complex. The book simplifies things. It helps you understand precisely why you are stressed out and what you can do about it. It is easy to read, very practical and at the same time very profound.

Lawyers are under tremendous pressure to satisfy their clients and make a living. This easy to read book provides practical advice in an inspiring way. I wish I would have read this book during the first year of law school. It would have helped me better handle tough situations.

This review is from: Stress Management for Lawyers: How to Increase Personal & Professional Satisfaction in the Law (Paperback)

Lawyers need all the help that's available. This book is a strong step in the right direction. The many helpful areas included how to both avoid and deal with stressful situations. It was easy to read and contained valuable stress lowering and self esteem raising techniques.
