Stress reduction for dummies. June 6, 2006
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
Sure we're all stressed a little now and then, but when the stress REALLY starts to build up and becomes too much, consider this little helper. An oversized volume (making it easier to read), this book contains not one, but MANY different ways of reducing your stress- that's why its called a workbook. And this is precisely what makes this book such a gem- there's something in it for everyone. If you don't like one technique, just go to the next chapter and try another one.
A great book that should help a lot of people, I give it 5 stars easy. Also recommend "The Sixty-Second Motivator" for readers who have trouble getting motivated to do the stress techniques on a regular basis.

I'm an American woman living overseas, and believe-you-me, I've had some VERY stressful times these past ten years. I'm not stressed out at present, but saw this book, and ordered it to deal with the next time I am. Looking through the book, I would have given ANYTHING to have this book at various times these past few years. If you are stressed out, BUY THIS BOOK! WELL WORTH THE MONEY.
An excellent resource! February 17, 1999

As a therapist, I have found this book to be an excellent resource for use with clients since I first came across it about 8 or 10 yrs ago. The authors provide detailed information for learning clinically proven self-help techniques.
This needs to be on EVERYONE'S bookshelf as reference! January 20, 1999

This is is a must have workbook! I bought this book several years ago and am still using the principals whenever my life feels stressed out. Before checking out any other self-help book, (Like the Power of Positive Thinking, or Anthony Roberts Unlimited Power) check out this one. If you're feeling lost, deppressed, anxious, or have any phobia's, or are stressed, etc. the techniques in this book will cure you.
A Cornucopia Of Coping Strategies April 22, 1998

Brew yourself a cup of your favorite herbal tea and curl up in a quiet corner because you're in for a treat. This book is exactly what the title says it is - a workbook for relaxation and stress reduction - and its user-friendly style enables the reader to dip into any chapter at will and derive something useful and informative from it. The book's orientation is very much a holistic approach and the authors' emphasis on mental coping methods dovetails nicely with the chapters on reducing physical stress symptoms. I found the progressive relaxation guidance (including instructions for creating your own tape) particulary well done and helpful. As the authors make so clear, many of us are unaware of how and where we store our tension and how our breathing impacts our ability to move from a stress response to relaxation. Methods such as progressive relaxation - systematically tensing and relaxing all the large muscle groups in the body - aid in gaining awareness of what we are experiencing physically both during stress and in relaxation. The book also discusses goals, time management, nutrition and exercise, with copious worksheets for the reader to dissect which area(s) he or she most needs to focus on to achieve more individual balance, and therefore less stress. The end of each chapter includes suggestions for further reading, providing the reader a jumping off point for deeper work in a particular area, if needed. Each chapter is a module for bringing about psyche/soma homeostasis. The book's one drawback in my view is the length of the personal stress analysis worksheets. One is of course free to skip over them or complete only a portion of each one. Overall though, the book provides a palatable plethora of nurturing and nourishing ideas and methods for bringing mind, body and spirit to a place of respite and repose, whatever one's outer circumstances may be.
