Product Description
?We have more control than we think. If we take control of the things we do control, we?ll have much more energy and resilience to deal with the other stressors in our lives.? ?DAVID POSEN, M.D.
Intense stress has become an integral part of how we live. In controlled doses, it helps us perform better, but left unchecked stress can leave us feeling fatigued, helpless and overwhelmed and can lead to any number of health complications. In The Little Book of Stress Relief, stress expert Dr. David Posen teaches us how to take back control of our lives and regain a satisfying work-life balance. Dr. Posen proposes that we change our fundamental thinking and lifestyle choices by becoming aware of our behaviour, making informed choices and giving ourselves permission to make the necessary changes in our day-to-day lives. In 52 short sessions, one for each week of the year, Dr. Posen isolates specific causes of stress and provides detailed "prescriptions" for overcoming them, as well as easy-to-follow activities and exercises that will help with everything from getting enough sleep to overcoming procrastination to perfecting the art of prioritizing. You?ll also learn how to avoid letting other people?s stress rub off on you. The Little Book of Stress Relief guides us through making small changes every day, changes that once implemented can have a profound positive effect on the quality of our lives.(September 2003)

One of my all time favorite books!, Sep 14 2008
By Kim - Published on Amazon.com
I think I've only done one review in my life so far, but I felt compelled to write a review for this book after I saw that only one person reviewed it! I love this book! I'm surprised to see that not many other people have reviewed it! It is a simple, easy read, with each 'chapter' only consisting of 2-3 pages at most. Each topic/chapter is well-written with good examples and action-items at the end for you to take (if you wish). The best part about this book is you can scan through and just pick a topic that you are having problems with, and read that topic only. However, I find that once I read one topic, I can't help but go to the next topic. I find myself going back to this book every 6 months to re-read it, just to remind myself of the little things I can do to help relieve my stress and make my life a little better. He provides actual concrete solutions and exercises rather than just ramble on about the theory behind why you're stressed. This is one of those books that I'll keep in my bookcase for years to come. If you have any bit of stress, this book is for you!

This review is from: The Little Book of Stress Relief (Paperback)
I am Chair of our Wellness Committee at work and use this book to include bits and pieces in our company newsletter and throughout the week to help staff understand they are not along and that stress can be handled. So far I think it is working great, I appreciate the articles are short and to the point and that allows me to highlight important points without writing a page of information. I would recommend this book, thank you.
