Good book by Sean Sargent (Springfield, MO USA)  4 Stars
August 01, 2007
I am a Master's Level clinician working on my doctorate in clinical psychology. This book is not as great as its 1985 predecessor. In that previous edition, there were more relaxation scripts that were excellent to use personally and with clients/patients. This edition acts more like a reference book as well as an advertisement for the author's website (which incidentally did not have much on it that was helpful for me). I did like some of the suggestions regarding the use of technology and how it can cause stress or reduce it by the way it is used.

Easy to read, helpful, informative by music lover 5 Stars
August 27, 2005
First of all, this book is very reader-friendly. It doesn't torture you with medical wicky wacky jargons. At the same time, the author doesn't treat you like a baby. He gives it to you straight and clear.
The book talks about different types of relaxation techniques to unnerve your mind and body, gives the descriptions of major stressors in lives and how to handle them, etc...
This book is great read and actually practicing the skills that the author describes make it even better.

August 07, 2005
Well worth the money!
Stress reduction tips, assertiveness information, relaxation, guided imagery; this book is packed with excellent tips and information. Although written several years ago, I continue to use the information and to recommend this book again and again.

"Comprehensive" is the word by William J. Fickling (Columbia, SC, USA) 5 Stars
April 03, 2002
This is a superb and, as the book's subtitle implies, a comprehensive compendium of stress management tools and information. I have been using this book since the mid-80's, both to benefit me personally as well as to use as a basis for inservices I have provided for the staff I have supervised in a stressful hospital environment. It is quite logical in its format, proceeding from the tertiary to the secondary to the primary levels of prevention, in that order. It first shows the reader how to cope with sources of stress when they occur, first by regulating our physiological, then our cognitive responses to stressful events; this is the tertiary level. It then shows us how to take some control over our environment in order to lessen the frequency of stressful events occuring; this is the secondary level. Finally, it presents some ideas for general well-being, which could be called the primary level of prevention. It as much as says that if our minds and bodies are in the right place, then nothing will faze us. Overall a superb book that I cannot recommend too highly.
