Summary: Irritating, pretentous book
Review: "Life Without Stress" is a thoroughly irritating book, but from an entirely different direction. Dr. Arthur Sokoloff is a dentist who discovered, on a number of trips to the Far East, Buddahism, Zen and other religions. He views life through equally rose-colored glasses, and seeks to encourage us to mend our spiritually deprived Western lives with an infusion of Far Eastern beliefs. His gee-whiz writing betrays a considerable lack of depth and a profound belief in his abilities as a spiritual leader. "In writing this book, I have stripped away more than two thousand years of material that has clouded the original wisdom of the great thinkers of Asia," he proclaims. I can't wait to see what he does to Christianity and Judiaism.

Summary: New to Eastern Philosophy? Read this book!
Review: I am new to Eastern Philosophy and this was a great introduction. For the past year, I have been searching for books that give a concrete explanation of Zen, Taoism, and Confucianism and how it is applied to living stress free. This book is it!

Summary: Life without Stress
Review: I really liked this book. Though he is a dentist and not a scalar of asian philosophy, I leanred a lot from this book and helped me to change my attitude towards the world (well, especially with people around me) He reviews not only one type of idea or philosophy but go though several different ones. So that I think it's good for the people who doens't believe in one religion (ex. Buddism), but want to help themselves though Estern way of thinking.

Summary: Life Without Stress
Review: This is a really nice little book. It strips away the mysticism and window dressing from Eastern thought, leaving the essential basic ideas, which are really pretty straightforward. I liked it and recommend it.

Summary: New to Eastern Philosophy? Read this book!
Review: thousands of years of Eastern philosophy into a blissfully easy to read book filled with clear definitions and gems of insight about Taoism, traditional Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, and Confusianism. Certainly one of the best antidotes for stress begins with reading this book. So many Westerners are overwhelmed with esoteric writings about the Eastern philosophies that they give up. This book is perfect as a primer for basic understanding between East and West doctrines and ideals ; Dr. Sokoloff "speaks our language" and makes us want to continue to learn more of the esoterica of these 4 philosophies. Hats off to the "Zen Dentist".
