Good source of self-assessment tests
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book has many self-assessment tests which allow one to look at the stress in their life, and the affect it might be having, from a variety of perspectives. From that standpoint alone, the book is worthwhile. It also provides a comprehensive profile of the different approaches to stress in one volume. As such, it is a good starting point for anyone beginning to address the stress in their life. However, the author seems to reach beyond his area of expertise when covering areas such as diet and exercise in detail. Those sections of the book were not as strong as the rest; Nevertheless, the author should be commended in his attempt to address them since diet and exercise clearly are important aspects of addressing stress. I wish the book provided more information on how to combat stress and not just identify it. It focused on a one-size-fits-all approach of goal identification (much in the manner of Stephen Covey's _7_Habits_of_Highly_Effective_People) sprinkled with random bits of advice. I wasn't comfortable with that approach at all and was left feeling better educated about stress, but without a strategy for reducing it.
