StressLess

by Matthew Johnstone

Experiencing stress is a normal part of being human, but in our increasingly complex and fast-paced world, our stress levels can interfere with our enjoyment of life, including through anxiety, lack of energy, sleeplessness, muscle tension and irritation.

What many might not know is that in large doses, ongoing stress is considered to be a contributing factor to instances of cancer, heart disease and stroke.

In StressLess , clinical psychologist Dr Michael Player and bestselling author-illustrator Matthew Johnstone use their own experience to help you recognise stress in your day-to-day life and apply techniques to manage symptoms.

You will learn how to:
* Recognise the thinking patterns that lead to stress
* Disentangle yourself from stressful activities
* Relax using breathing, stretching, meditation and mindfulness
* Do more with your time
* Problem solve
* Nurture relationships

Fully illustrated, easy to follow and based on the latest medical science, StressLess is your go-to guide to identify and reduce your own stress and help others do the same.

Probably one of the best books I have picked up in a while. So easy to read and understand. I'm a busy parent, who juggles and struggles and says yes to more than I can possibly manage. Yet the emotional rollercoaster has been the norm. Implemented few changes and my world has improved exponentially. Everyone is getting a copy of this. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This was a fantastic read - it provided practical tips and tricks that you could use to reduce stress. The illustrations were cool and all concepts were explored and explained in depth. As a previous stress-head (and still working through managing it) I would recommend this read to all the stress heads out there! You have nothing to lose and everything to learn :)
