Summary: This needs to be on EVERYONE'S bookshelf as reference!
Review: This is is a must have workbook! I bought this book several years ago and am still using the principals whenever my life feels stressed out. Before checking out any other self-help book, (Like the Power of Positive Thinking, or Anthony Roberts Unlimited Power) check out this one. If you're feeling lost, deppressed, anxious, or have any phobia's, or are stressed, etc. the techniques in this book will cure you.

Summary: Classic, bible in its field
Review: This is one of, if not the best books on stress management and relaxation. It is a must have for health care providers working in this area, and an incredible resource for laymen seeking personal help or self growth.I've recommended this book to probably 1000 psychologists, and as a specialty dealer of products for stress management, relaxation training and biofeedback, I know that at least 600-800 actually bought copies. Many of the ones I suggested it to already owned the book and I was always happy they did, because then, they knew I made credible recommendations. The book offers a wealth of beautifully, simply explained exercises and techniques you can use immediately to learn to relax and cope with stress more effectively.

Summary: Best compilation of current techniques available
Review: Unlike many books, this book is exactly what the title purports it to be. It is a workbook containing most of the common and not so common techniques being used for relaxation and stress reduction today. Each chapter not only describes a technique but also what symptoms you can expect it to relieve and an estimate of how long you will have to use it in order to master the technique. I have seen no other book that does such a thorough job as this one. That is not to say that there are not others that are much better on a specific technique, but this is the best overall survey of all the currently used and effective techniques and the only one that guides you to what to expect, the details of the techniques and how long you will have to practice before seeing results.

Summary: Loaded with information
Review: Very easy to read, extremely informative and very helpful.
Wish it would have come with a tape or two, some things like meditation or self hypnosis are hard to do without a voice guiding you.
