Managing Stress: Principles and Strategies for Health and Well-Being [with CD (Audio)] [With CD (Audio)]

This item really help out even though it was a older model it was in good condition

I had checked out this book from the college library and had found it so packed with information that I needed that I had to have my own copy. When the textbook came, I was delighted to find that a workbook was included in the price of the book. I am thoroughly pleased with it.

This was a good items. There are somes bends here and there, but the price was low anyway. Got the item after 5 business days, which is faster than I expected.

As a college professor of Health Education, I rate this textbook on Stress Management as OUTSTANDING! I have used Dr. Seaward's text for over a decade now for my Stress Management classes, and it just keeps getting better and better! My students repeatedly have commented on how well it is written, how it presents the topics in an interesting and helpful manner, and how the illustrations and informational inserts in each chapter are superb. They like his approach in that after reading all the chapters on the variety of coping techniques, they can make informed choices about how to best manage their personal stress. From the teacher's point of view, the holistic approach to stress management, the well documented causes and effects, and the myriad of management techniques that are thoroughly researched and presented, combine to make this text a wonderful tool and guide to use in my classes. It is truly a well researched, comprehensive and factual text that is a refreshing change from reading a lot of other "self-help" books that are written to promote one author's message on one particular subject.

I highly recommend this book. I took a college course and we used this book. It is a very balanced book and looks into all areas of Eustress (good stress), Neustress (neutral stress) and distress (bad stress). It gives a plethora of step by step information on many different techniques into managing and eliminating stress. It was so helpful to me, I decided to keep the book once my class was over. There is also an excellent accompanying journal called Managing Stress "A Creative Journal" you can buy to go with it.
