Stress Less: 10 Balancing Insights on Work and Life by Amy Freeman - ReviewWhat I liked best about this book is it's so easy to read. Amy's writing style is relaxed and accessible and that's vital in a stress management book.Amy presents ten insights to manage stress and live a balanced and harmonious life:1. Make time for yourself first.2. Ask for help.3. Rest.4. Let go of the myths.5. Ask for insight.6. Find solutions unique to you.7. Sometimes, doing a little is OK.8. Personal relationships are long-term investments.9. Take good care of your health.10. Start somewhere!She says that these ten insights are based on the following three principles:a. You are not alone.b. Small changes can make a big difference.c. Peace and success stem from discovering and following your personal positive truths.The ten insights are supplemented by video clips, downloadable worksheets, and personal anecdotes about how Amy applied these insights and principles. Amy also gives a list of links to useful online resources to deal with all aspects of stress.My favorite phrase in this book: "Consistency is contagious."All in all, if you suffer from excess stress and work-life imbalance, you will benefit from this book.(I downloaded a free copy of this book in return for an unbiased review.)
