Pop psych books focusing upon stress reduction are commonplace. Most are poorly written rehashes of common sense solutions that have had currency for centuries. Seidenfeld's book is a cut above most books of this type, due to a plethora of uncommonplace suggestions written in a lively conversational style. I particularly liked the idea of an "office wide" quiet zone periodically to lessen worksite stress. Also attractive were the author's anecdotes drawn from his colorful personal life as well as clinical practice. While I found the emphasis upon rationally analyzing difficult emotions simplistic, I did appreciate the author's jargon-free application of that school of psychology that boils down to sage folk wisdom.
