Managing Stress: Principles and Strategies for Health and Well-Being 8th Edition

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, there are so many technical information that I think the past reviewers were quite on point. Just because my all of the chapters in this book tremendously help improve my life and work stress - I fully recommend it for good read. It is best for folks who are in a high stress environment. This book will spell it all out for you. If it was not too expensive, I would have bought it for myself.

Condition was better than I expected! Really pleased with my purchase! It was so much less expensive than buying this textbook from my school!

Helpful and good quality

Good book. Bought it for my "Psychology of Stress Management" class. It was a fun read, and I found myself picking it up and reading the chapters that my professor didn't cover for fun. My only issue with it was that the author seemed a little biased in his "religion" chapter. The theories he introduced made atheists sound like terrible people. We talked about these theories in class, and the 2-3 atheists in the room were not keen on being placed in the "chaotic antisocial stage." Also, some of the "theories" (and not just the ones relating to religion) are more like ideas or hypotheses. But otherwise, it's a good textbook. The chapters detailing stress management techniques are especially good.

In my final year of social work graduate school and this has been my favorite text book so far. One of the very few I have actually kept.

This book contains lots of 'woo' (energy healing and the like) but I think it would be difficult to find a book that covers this topic without the woo. My prof did a great job of skipping the less reputable 'science' in the book and stuck to solid, evidence-based information presented by the authors.This does a great job of really explaining and helping the student understand the origin of stressors, what they do to your body in both the short- and long-term, and also how to combat and reduce stress in your daily life.

Good book, relevent to today's society. But it is the same as older editions. Save money and find an old PDF.

will use it next monday when school starts, but what an awesome price, if i would have bought it on campus it would have cost over $250.00,
