Dr. Pearsall's easy explanation of why our lives are so stressful urges us to take a look within to find the answers to what can bring peace, harmony, love and contentment into everyone's lives. The ideas and suggestions are so simple you wonder why it has taken so long to discover.

Included is a short test to assess your personal stress level, to define what makes you angry and why. Then Dr. Pearsall offers simple suggestions that really work. Those who have read his previous book, "The Pleasure Prescription" will rediscover the easy,polynesian philosophy of acceptance that makes the islands the true paradises they are. By looking inward we gain a better understanding of the world around us, and why such modern phenomenon as "road rage" happen so often.

It's difficult to sum up the whole concept in a few short paragraphs, but the essential message is, "lighten up" to live longer.

If you are seeking to bring more pleasure into your life, live less stress, and generally become happier, read this book. I have read and even written many self-help books in my time, and always find value in Pearsall's work. He writes from the heart and with a great deal of solid scientific information. He is one of the best in the industry.

I found this book to be rather boring. It feels as if the author repeats the same thought over and over again until it fill up the whole book. In a way it's like chanting if you are into that sort of thing. My own pleasure prescription is to read something more pleasurable.
