Stress can cause all sorts of health problems, we all know that. But when it comes to really getting a grip on stress, particularly the chronic type, it can be hard and yet another challenge to face.I was drawn to this book by it's amazing cover. The content did not disappoint either.Some very good reminders and suggestions here. In particular, it brought to mind for me the importance of "being in the now" not always focusing on what needs to be done next, something I do all to often. Going through life on 'auto pilot' is not a good thing and can at times be dangerous too (ie when driving etc) I'm working on this more, after reading this helpful guide.The author suggests many ways to cope with stress including: journaling, yoga, taking regular breaks, setting boundaries, meditation...all good. Yoga for me has been a life-saver and something that I always regret when I miss a session. I wasn't surprised to find this as a stress-busting suggestion in this book.Only thing that could be improved was the formatting. On my Kindle some of the text was very large and looked a bit wonky. A small thing but took away from the overall presentation of what is a worthwhile resource book.
