Stress Pocketbook [Paperback]

Mary Richards (Author), Phil Hailstone (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2009

Learning to manage stress at work benefits both the individual and the organization. The Stress Pocketbook, now in its second edition, is full of practical advice on ways to manage your own stress, and how to help others. Emphasis is on what to do rather than on theory. The book was voted 'best of its kind' by the Management Today journal in a review of similar publications. It commented: 'A user-friendly guide to stress management. The simple, quick-fire descriptions of common workplace situations are useful. Well worth keeping handy'. Stress News said of the pocketbook: 'Although small, it manages to pack a tremendous amount of useful information and tips into its seven sections. A really useful adjunct to any stress management or stress counselling program. As it costs so little it could be included in the price of the course or sessions'. The new 2nd edition of this popular title has been significantly expanded and many new illustrations added.

This review is from: The Stress Pocketbook (Management Pocket Book Series) (Paperback)

For those whose lives are so stressed they don't have time to read stress books, this is the book for you. Excellent, to the point, with many useful tips. As you read on, you realise that much of the advice you already knew but it had become buried under the workload. Richards brings these useful tips and simple practical exercises to the top of the pile thus bringing some normality and perspective back into your life. A must read for anyone who does not have time to read!
