I am a total workaholic so stress can be a major part of my life if I don't watch myself. When I read the opening statistics on stress, I thought, "Yup, I resemble those stats!" This book is wonderfully simple it its approach. Giving the reader nine easy ways to unload or prevent stress (one chapter each), each approach is first explained in terms of how it reduces stress and specific benefits. Step-by-step instructions then guide you through each method. The entire book is well-documented with qualified sources for statistics and research that demonstrates the benefits of following these approaches. What I like most about the book is that there is something for everyone. Since I am so busy, I particularly like the easy Body Scan meditation in Chapter 8, which I can do by just closing my office door and turning off the lights for a few minutes. I really feel much more relaxed and refreshed after doing this technique for a few minutes. Worth the read!
