Recommendation

This is the latest version of a bestseller that has been in print for more than 25 years. John Mason is clear and persuasive about why constant stress is an inappropriate (if natural) part of modern life. The techniques for learning to relax and letting go of stress make a lot of sense, and tapes of the various methods are available to buy from the author’s associated Web site. Some of the medically related claims about the benefits of stress reduction are somewhat less convincing, but taken as a practical approach to becoming healthier and happier through relaxation, this book is a proven winner. getAbstract recommends it to anyone suffering from undue stress in their working life or at home.

Take-Aways

  • Stress is a normal part of life, but don’t accept it as your normal condition.
  • Stress triggers a fight-or-flight response. If you are constantly under stress, you cannot replenish and heal properly.
  • Deep breathing from your diaphragm is the basis of all stress reduction techniques.
