The Stress Management Handbook: Strategies for Health and Inner Peace

"Wow! This book is simply a must-read. It is chock-full of excellent tactics, ideas, and strategies for changing one's life by learning to cope with the complexities of daily living. Leyden-Rubenstein lays out an extensive body of scientific knowledge about stress and its effects on health in a clear, direct and highly readable way, but this book offers much, much more. She intertwines this scientifically-based information to support a spiritual approach to living, focusing on self-knowledge, understanding ,and compassion. Her thesis for living is quite remarkable, and the questions raised and tactics posed are quite palatable even for recovering Catholics, like me. I recommend purchasing the meditation tape that is offered with the book to get a good start on the path to better, more peaceful living."
