Anyone can read a stress management book—even if they don't feel like they're stressed. The reality is that many of us will experience stress at some point in our lives, and having the tools to cope is highly beneficial. Also, it's possible that you may be stressed without realizing it. Sometimes we get so good at coping on a surface level that those underlying feelings of anxiety and stress are the status quo. Signs of high functioning anxiety include being a people pleaser, dwelling on the negative or overthinking, insomnia, inability to say "no," lost time (e.g., arriving too early), and mental or physical fatigue. Lastly, reading stress management books can help you empathize and understand others who often feel stressed.
