Editorial Review:
It’s practically the watchword of modern American life. We all know we should learn to manage it. We know that it can shorten our lives, age us prematurely, make us fat. We know it can cause a host of physical and psychological problems, from heart disease to impotence—but we all seem to keep suffering from it. One more thing we all know is that, ultimately, we are responsible for reducing the stress we experience each day. This little book offers ten simple solutions any of us can use to make this important change once and for all. Based on positive psychology, mind-body medicine, and cognitive behavioral therapy, the ten solutions in this book take stress management to an unprecedented level of effectiveness. These short assessments, lifestyle enhancement tips, and emergency stress rescue techniques help you to cope effectively with stress and to reduce its frequency in your life. More than just lowering blood pressure and being generally happier, the techniques in this book can lead you to physical wellness and foster a greater sense of purpose, joy, and fulfillment.

excellent 2008-08-23
A very comprehensive book analyzing the causes of stress. Especially good is the chapter on nutrition but all of the material presented is worth multiple re-reads. Very well organzed and easy to follow. There are some good quizes to help the reader pinpoint his or her own issues.

The trouble with stress is that you don't have time to learn coping skills when you are truly stretched beyond your limits. That's why Dr. Wheeler's book can be so helpful. Once I got past the Type A compulsion to read the entire book cover to cover, I realized I could have been nibbling at my troubles bit by bit. "10 Simple Solutions" is written in such a way that you can pick and choose the advice you need -- and the book is packed with useful, proven information. I recommend it.

A well written and meaningful book that not only educates but also provides powerful coping skills for stress and healthy attitudes towards life. As an integrative psychotherapist, I highly recommend this book.

Dr. Wheeler has written a neat little book that is big on helping to handle stress. She displays her knowledge and thoughts in ways that are easy to understand. Her book contains many "Ah-ha"'s. Her book does not need to be read cover-to-cover but one can open to any chapter and find helpful suggestions and exercises. It is a thoughtful gift as well as a useful tool.
A Great Resource 2007-04-07
