5.0 out of 5 stars A Daily Companion for Life-Long Stress Reduction, December 14, 2003

Kimberly Olson (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stress Management Made Simple: Effective Ways to Beat Stress for Better Health (Book with Two Audio CDs) (Hardcover)

"Stress Management Made Simple" by Jay Winner, M.D., gets shuttled daily between my briefcase and my nightstand. I've read the book and listened to the CDs (and recommend it!) ... I've also found that when I have just a couple minutes during the day I can open the book to any page and find a timely reminder to breathe, shift perspectives, relax and enjoy. . . I highly recommend the "Letting Go Meditation" on Disc 1 and the "Relaxation Exercise Designed to Help Insomnia" on Disc 2 (especially if, like me, you have trouble getting to sleep and sleeping through the night). Dr. Winner provides all the medical and health reasons for managing stress yet his writing style, thoughtful quotes, familiar examples and simple techniques alleviates any stress about taking the first step towards stress management.

This review is from: Stress Management Made Simple: Effective Ways to Beat Stress for Better Health (Book with Two Audio CDs) (Hardcover)

Read this book - it is sure to have several chapters which will be helpful tools to managing or putting into perspective the S-T-R-E-S-S that so many of us are confronted with.
If you don't like one section, or chapter, skip on - because there are a variety of methods and topics that are sure to be useful.
As a teacher, I recommend this for parents, students and all those who want to find better ways of coping in this busy, challenging life. What is more essential than keeping your health? One has to continue looking for ways to maintain health - reading and re-reading books on 'keeping cool' under pressure seem like top priorities for our time(s).
I've read this book at least three times - keep it near where you read - it will help you.
