Cool Stuff Makes Sense

This is a really cool book. It is easy but not stupid. Funny but not cliche. Not preachy. I bought it for some folks I manage and it helped them a lot. I heard Dawn speak and decided to buy a couple of her books. Both are great. I'm starting to meditate and thanks to Stress Reduction, I finally got what living stressed-out is doing to me. I want to keep my brain so I'm getting busy being less busy. Being smarter about it.

From avoiding worries to accepting a complicated world

In Stress Reduction For Busy People, Dawn Groves showcases steps to alleviating stress and offers over-stressed folks a host of effective, "user friendly" coping mechanisms each of which require no extra daily effort to deploy. From avoiding worries to accepting a complicated world with the least stress, Stress Reduction For Busy People provides a strongly recommended guide to attitude enhancements which can in themselves reduce stress.

excellent book

I read about this book on Beliefnet and got excited. a stress reduction book that works? cant be true. I need a book to be entertaining as well as practical. Call me shallow, I guess. Anway I am determined to take my life back and this book really helps. Interesting and easy to read. I highly recommend it.

Great advice

This book is very interesting. It makes sense and is more than just another "you gotta reduce your stress load" book. It has a ton of good ideas and I found many of them immediately applicable at work and at home.

Not just any stress reduction book

I thought i read all I wanted to about stress. then I heard her on the radio and liked her perspective. this book takes a different look at stress reduction. a bigger view. practical and almost poetic, all at the same time. you can read it in an hour. I bought some for office gifts. I especially liked chapter 4 about goalsetting. Dawn doesnt bog you down, but she is also motivating. I liked her other books in the busy people series, but this hits the nail on the head for me.
