Fifty-two 'ideas' for helping to reduce stress. Some of them were fairly obvious (delegate, eat more healthfully, get more rest...), some I had read before (try seroius aromatherapy, spend an hour in a flotation tank...) and others were really quite inspiring, such as techniques to get through procrastination, and ways of prioritising.

Each 'idea' has a couple of pages with explanations, personal anecdotes, and then a couple of questions-and-answers from people who have tried the suggestion show more and found it difficult. It made for quite interesting reading even when the idea itself was not particularly relevant to me.

I read this on my Kindle after downloading it free from amazon, over a couple of weeks. While it wasn't the greatest book ever (and there were a few formatting errors and spelling mistakes) it did contain some useful suggestions, one or two of which I have taken up - and I certainly can't complain about the price! show less

A useful book covering 52 aspects of stress and ways to address them. It's full of a wide range of tips covering all aspects of a total solution for improving one's life and is written in a very practical, down to earth way. 5/5

This was a great book. As it was so well laid-out, I found I could dip into it and read short segments as and when I had time. At other times, I simply sat and read several chapters at a time. I found the writing style engaging, and the information/tips useful (a handy reminder, if not all new information.) I'll be keeping this book close [my version was for the Kindle] and using it as a trigger when I start to let my old habits sneak back in.

Nice, thoughtful suggestions. Short, readable, etc.
