This book really sets the standard for mental health.Really loved the stress scale. What a great way to understand this whole concept better. Clearly shows that while big events cause big stress, you can't ignore the little events, especially if there are a lot of them going on at the same time. These can easily add up to more than a big stress event.The chapter "Make Every Day Count" had a great line that really touch me. It said that happy and successful individuals don't dwell on fear and get bogged down with problems, but they focus on solutions. I have been trying this lately and it sure helped me get through some tough spots.This is the kind of book that people may think is just for those with problems. But I think this is a must read for everyone, right from teenagers up to senior citizens. As soon as my children are old enough to understand the concepts, this will be required reading for them.An easy 5 stars. Would give it more if I could.
