Customer Reviews

Very easy to read and applicable techniques

Greenberg's latest edition of Comprehensive Stress Management is very easy to follow. With short chapters and a friendly tone, the content is very applicable for college students. I have been using this text in my stress management courses and the students have found it to be quite helpful. The lab exercises at the end of each chapter help the students connect the content to their own lives as they navigate through stress in college. Additionally, providing an extensive and lucid reference list at the end of each chapter is an excellent resource for all students. Although some of my students have found a few of the chapters self-explanatory, Greenberg does an excellent job of encompassing all aspects of understanding stress management.

Comprehensive Stress Management book

I ordered this book because it was required for a college course I am taking. However, I have found that it is, overall, a good book, in general, to have. It goes into specifics on stress and how to manage it. If you are a stressful person and have a hard time figuring out how to manage it all, this is the book for you! Or even if you have loved ones that you know that have issues with stress or certain ailments, this book goes into what you can do to help.

Excellent !!

­ ­­I was very impressed with the communication involving this transaction. The book was in excellent shape and the shipping was very fast. I would highly recommend this seller.

well needed substitue

This book is good if your taking this course in college because my professor allowed me to use since there really was no change but just another small chapter. The newest edition is about 100 dollars so if you can first ask your professor if you can buy this one to use in class. It is a better value than spending a lot on a new edition without much change.

This book is both easy to read and an excelent resource.

I have been teaching stress management at the undergraduate level for about three years now and find this book to be an excelent resource for undergraduates. It is very easy to read and gives a great deal of information about the practicle application of stress management techniques. Those who plan on teaching a course in stress management would be well advised to have a good deal of supplementary material on hand as this book is directed toward the intro student and is not informative enough to develop lectures from. This is one textbook that students consistantly give high ratings.
