WHY GET THIS BOOK? There are many books on stress - but none quite like this! IT IS: easy to read and digest, whilst being informative and practical IT IS NOT: full of academic jargon and confusing `psycho-babble'! Most books on stress are repetitive, predictable or highly personalized; this one is filled with cartoons and as little text as possible. The cartoons, however, do not trivialise the seriousness of the topic, they enhance the readers understanding of the facts as well as raise a smile, particularly when they remind you of someone- or yourself! WHO IS IT FOR? YOU - if you simply want to know more, to understand stress, or if you have suffered (or are suffering from) stress related difficulties; to help you understand or cope with a friend or family member, or a colleague at work. This is for you. THEM - for a family member or friend; if you are a professional or counsellor wishing to provide your patient/client with easy and engaging information; to help someone acknowledge stress and to move forward to help them. This is for them.
