There are hundreds of books on stress and stress management, so why read this one? Because this is the only lazy guide! In other words, it promises that you won't have to plough through pages and pages of interesting, but often useless, information. You'll simply get what you need. Theresa Francis-Cheung doesn't endorse the 'stress is bad for you and must be avoided at all costs' mantra. Instead she shows that you can't and indeed shouldn't avoid stress; you just need to learn how to handle it. We don't promise you a complete oasis of calm and contentment when you finish reading this book, but you will be close to being an expert on keeping your cool when the tension mounts.
