Stress management is a considerable task for many people in every sector
of life, in every age group, occupation and aspect of life. The book
illustrates specific steps to take in order to identify the stress triggers and deal with them constructively. The lotus position is the ideal setting for relaxation and tension release. Belief systems, perceptions and uncontrollable events are classic stress triggers which the author tries to address in the book. Subjects can engineer less stress into their week by enjoying family activities on Sundays. This will set the tone for the rest of the week. Goal-setting, brainstorming and hot baths/saunas are classic methodologies to deal effectively with stress. The book would be very helpful in combatting the everyday stress triggers that we all face. The book is a good value for the price charged.

Stress and anxiety are natural parts of the human experience and can actually improve performance in challenging times. But for those of us with more than our fair share of tension, C. Eugene Walker has written a helpful book. Walker draws on theories from many psychologists, psychiatrists and other researchers in analyzing the origins of our stress. More importantly, he also provides techniques for overcoming and reducing tension - including more than 40 exercises that will help you calm down. While his basic principles will sound familiar to those who know self-help and personal-development literature, Walker does a good job of combining and organizing these points. We [...] recommend this book to a general audience, but also to top managers and executives who deal with stressed-out employees or feel the pressure mounting themselves.
