Unquestionably The Best Stress Textbook!!  2008-04-03
Managing Stress is one of the best textbooks I have seen and should be required reading at every school. The reason I enjoy the book so much is because it presents a whole new way of seeing stress - stress reframed from a positive, enlightened, mind, body,spirit perspective. The book is such a comprehensive volume of information, including just enough of the most important topics related not only to stress, but to mind-body health in general, as much as any author can encapsulate in such a huge, broad, and growing field.
Another reason why Managing Stress is so good is because Seaward draws readers and students in to the need in our culture for a broader perspective of wellness, one that touches every nuance of life including business, education, the arts, government, and so on.
Wellness is certainly not solely about care for the body; it is perhaps even more importantly about care for mind and spirit. The book is endlessly full of great supporting research and tidbits of information, with studies proving the efficacy of holistic stress-management modalities. Through the use of this text alone one can develop an in-depth knowedge of not only mind-body health, but the whole human condition, what it means to be a human being. I cannot think of too many books I can make such a statement about. If you want to learn how to change your life, study this book - in depth - then choose topics you are most interested in, and go on to study additional resources provided; but even more, learn to put the techniques into practice and you will find not only the jewel of intelligence, but also of wisdom and enlightenment.
Misleading and Incorrect Information  2007-12-01
I am a trained Autogenic Therapist to the standards developed by the International Committee for the Coordination of Clinical Application and Teaching of Autogenic Therapy (ICAT). This committee was set up by Dr. Luthe (Canada), Dr. Wallnoffer (Austria), Dr. Cassel (USA), Dr. Sasaki (Japan), Dr. Gonzales de Rivera (Spain), and others to develop training standards for all Autogenic Methods - I have read Dr. Schultz and Dr. Luthe's 6 volumes of Autogenic Methods.
I have read the information on Autogenic Training given in this book, Managing Stress. I question whether this author has ever read the foundation books on Autogenics, whether he has ever learned Autogenic Training from a properly trained clinician, and whether he has ever practised the method properly. The information contained in Managing Stress does not represent the facts of Autogenic Methods as set out by Dr. Schultz and Dr. Luthe.
If this is true for this one single section of the book, what might be true of other sections? Not sure... Haven't and wouldn't read the whole book, simply based on this set of errors... It's not about TV personalities, it's about where to find the best information about Autogenics - certainly NOT in this book.
Excellent book!!! 2007-05-17
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.
