Great information and ideas about Stress Management,
By Diane Levy (Scarsdale, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stress Management For Dummies (Paperback)
This book is FILLED with information presented in a fun and completely intelligible format! Although I've read numerous articles and books on stress, I've never found one as practical and clearly defined as this book. There are mini-questionnaires throughout the chapters that are quick and fun to take, and very worthwhile. In addition Dr. Elkin cites and summarizes the most recent studies and literature. He has a talent for explaining complicated concepts in a way that reaches the reader. I was previously familiar with some of the literature that was mentioned in the book, such as Jon Kabat-Zinn's book, but Dr. Elkin's explanations crystallized the concepts for me.I particularly enjoyed the section about worrying! Dr. Elkin's words explained it, made me laugh about it, and then gave me wonderful suggestions for dealing with it. A book like this can actually change your life!

A RELAXING READING,
By
This review is from: Stress Management For Dummies (Audio Cassette)
It seems we're not at all reluctant to admit how little we know as there are now over 50 million "Dummies" books in print. And, thank goodness for many of them, as my "WordPerfect for Dummies" has often saved me.Now, we can learn to be tension free with "stress-busting advice and exercises." Read by the author, a clinical psychologist, in his most affirming and encouraging voice, he promises that we can combat stress with diet and exercise and even diminish our anger and worry.
