 Great Publication June 15, 2010
USN Okinawa (Okinawa, Japan, U.S. Military)
This is a sound text to guide programs aimed at reducing target audiences' life stress. Concur that it is also a sound read for the general population as well. Mr. Gordon's review misleads potential beneficiaries of this text which is filled with a plethora of evidence based and efficacious information. Though there may be some shortfalls in terms of hard science, the text does not warrant absolute discredit.
A valuable handbook on stress management March 14, 2010

This is a very comprehensive review of stress management techniques. When combined with an active program of mindfulness meditation, then you will certainly have a winning combination. If you would like to learn more about mindfulness meditation to compliment this book then I also recommend 'The Path of Mindfulness Meditation', available through Amazon.
Managing Stress-Principles and Strategies for Health and Well-Being January 31, 2010

I'm in an advance study program in health and wellness and this text book is part of one of my courses. However, this book can be used by anyone interested in learning how to manage their stress.
I have read several other works on managing stress and this is simply the best I have ever read. It is easy to read with lots of graphics and photos. It has a section in each chapter that highlights definitions you should understand and remember. There are many worksheets to help you work though your own stress issues. At the end of each chapter there is a summary in bullet form that highlight the most important concepts. The books walks you though stress management in a step by step indebt process. You can skip around chapters reading the ones you need or are interested in and still get a lot out of it.
If you are studying stress at the college level you will love this book and if you are just interested in learning and managing your own stress and can read at a 9th grade level you will find this a fantastic resource. The last chapter covers more than 10 of the most powerful stress management techniques that you will learn to use for the rest of you life.
The workbook that came with my order is an outstanding addition to helping you understand stress management. And my girl friend uses the relaxation CD to help her sleep.
Managing Stress - An Excellent Textbook October 23, 2009

I had checked out this book from the college library and had found it so packed with information that I needed that I had to have my own copy. When the textbook came, I was delighted to find that a workbook was included in the price of the book. I am thoroughly pleased with it.
Owner's manual for the human body June 7, 2009

This book was the text for my college Stress Management course to fulfill the health credit requirement. This text was so beneficial that my husband enrolled in the course after a week of repeated serious health crisis after serious health crisis (he was only given 2 weeks or less to live by an electro-physiologist). My husband and I both learned invaluable lessons on taking ownership of our human body.
This book covers it all - from music therapy, art therapy, tai chi, qi gong, nutrition, spirituality, etc. Brian introduces the reader to concepts from Maslow's theory of self-actualization to cell memory, reiki to st. john's wort, basically everything relating to taking charge of our stress from A to Z. I have yet to find a more comprehensive book on the foundations for taking charge of the health and wellness of our psychological mind and physical body.
This book is a must read for everyone who owns their body (ie everyone!)
