A good reminder of the basic techniques we can all use to manage the stress in our lives. Techniques such as meditation, exercise, healthy eating, and others. The book does point to the author's website, seminars, and audio CDs which would bother me. However, the book then goes on to present the techniques stating that they can be followed by the directions in the book alone. I appreciate that the book can stand alone.

The ideas in this book are not new. However, I can always use a fresh reminder. I will keep this book in my portfolio of other similar books.
