A sample of a nice stress management book is authored by Henriette Anne Klauser titled, “Write It Down, Make It Happen.” This book guides you to develop a lifestyle that fits what you would personally define as an ideal life. The book basically illustrates the power of writing and how it can be a form of stress release and even achievement of your goals. It has a wide range of practical suggestions for stress relief.
The only concern about this stress management book is that it dwells a bit too much on spirituality issues. Many of the advice given lean towards the subjective and spiritual rather than having a proven, well-documented and based on research facts.
The book, “7 Steps to Unclutter Your Life” written by Donna Smallin, is another stress management book that clearly defines how the clutter in your physical environment can actually be causing you stress. It also illustrates clutter as affecting thoughts, problems, ideas and priorities that you are experiencing, thereby clouding your perspective. It is a fun and reader friendly book that you can finish in one sitting, although hidden behind all the light hearted words are practical and useful suggestions to start the de-cluttering process.
Another recommended book to read is Dr. David Servan-Schreiber, “The Instinct to Heal: Curing Stress, Anxiety and Depression Without Drugs and Without Talk Therapy.” The book talks about the latest techniques for stress and psychological issues such as reprocessing and eye movement desensitization, pet therapy and dawn simulation alarm clocks. The techniques discussed are rather unconventional but effective.
Another light-hearted and laughter-producing book is entitled “Naked” written by David Sedaris.
