Resonating with truth

It's very difficult to find the words to describe the books written by Brian Luke Seaward. If a book is over 150 pages, it must have something about it to hold my attention.. Stressed is Desserts spelled backwards is a book that you don't want to end. It's one of the rare books that I'm able to read in one sitting, and at the same time go back and read parts of it again and again. Different stories and antecdotes within this book resonate within a person at different phases in his or her life and it's so easy to relate to the truths the author speaks of with times in your life or the lives of loved ones. I love to travel and explore the world, and as I do so I also explore the inner depths from within..... With a copy of this book and the Alchemist I am ready to begin my journey, both inner and outer.

Stressed Is Desserts Spelled Backward

"Stressed is Desserts Spelled Backward" is a book of that's full of inspiration! I like this book because you can open it to almost any page, start reading and find a valuable bit of information wrapped in a wonderful story. It's like a reference book on stress written in short story form! It also includes practical suggestions for dealing with rough times and for calming the mind, body and spirit. Brian Luke Seaward, PH.D., has a knack for writing as though he were talking to you in person. His other books "Stand Like Mountain, Flow like Water" and "The Art of Calm", just to name a few are also wonderful spirit-filled works that encourage you to embrace life and all that comes with it from a centered, enlightened, inspired perspective.

A personal and revealing account of stress and life.

After reading this book, I hold firmly to my belief that we all experience many of the same feelings, and that a mentality of separateness is the cause of many of societal ills. I applaud Dr. Searward for revealing a personal side of stress in what I believe is an effort to heal many through the exposure of one's struggles in life and the resultant successes. I am reminded of Lance Armstrong as I get caught up in my self-created daily worries. Attitude is everything and Dr. Seaward certainly shows that with the right attitude, the blessing in every situation will be revealed. I have also read "Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water" and feel that this book is excellent follow-on reading. I think that this book helps remind us of the big picture of life, and will hopefully help many people get out the petty details that fritter life away and open our hearts.

this is a great inspirational book! must read!!!!!!

I picked this book up at Barnes & noble because I thought the title was clever.As it turns out this book is ingenious! The stories were funny and heart-wrenching. A great gift for anyone

Fast read with help and examples for dealing with problems

I really enjoyed this book. It has two - three page true stories relating to huge or small accumulative challenges modern every day people deal with. I am tired of being told to reduce stress and calm down, I needed ways and means to do just that, and this book gave me some realistic methods. So much of our adult lives feel out of controll and we need every day heroes to help us understand we can all get "through it."I look forward to the next book by this author and plan to read others. He writes clearly and mainstream with a hopeful theme.
