What Readers Are Saying...

This book combines elements of both personal narrative and self-help manual as the author recounts some of her personal journey in search of effective stress management techniques. While she occasionally points her readers to research supporting her suggestions, she’s approaching this topic not as a therapist or a researcher, but as someone who is sharing her own experience in hopes of making other peoples’ journeys a little easier. Reading this is not like meeting with a therapist, but like sitting down with a friend who says “I’ve been there and here’s what worked for me.” She is conscious of keeping her suggestions practical and within reach of those with modest budgets and encourages people to seek out professional help when needed, and her suggestions touch on a range of different strategies (166 total), which are organized into a list at the end of the book for reference.
