This is a quick read but with a LOT of food for thought. Full of strategies you can pick and choose which ones are right for you. Some of the strategies are more involved, others cost nothing and very easy to do. I got this book to pass along to a family member who is undergoing a lot of stress in life right now, but found so many areas I can improve on my own stress level. Of the 24 strategies listed I can do a half dozen very easily; with some costing little to nothing (like music, reading, exercise, breathing to name but a few). More I'd LIKE to do... like a spa day, massage, vacation, social events) but they takes a little more money and planning- so they're definitely going to be on my list.I enjoyed seeing aquariums listed here as a stress reducer. I used to have an aquarium and can vouch for it's effectiveness at stress reduction (as are pets). Sometimes I'd sit in front of the TV for an hour but end up watching the fish tank just because it was so relaxing.Feeling relaxed and stress free really can change your life, and this book is a great start in that direction.
