Excellent Stress Management Books
Has too much stress become a problem for you? Have you been looking for information on how you can control, reduce or eliminate stress so that your life would be easier and more balanced?
Since stress creeps up in almost any difficult situation, getting the habit of reading some motivational books and books that encourage you to think positive, can surely help you to overcome stress when feeling it.
Here are my recommendations:
Write It Down, Make It Happen” by Henriette Anne Klauser. The book helps you develop a lifestyle that fits what you would define as your ideal life. The book mainly explains the effectiveness of writing and how it can release stress or achieve your goals. It has many practical suggestions about stress relief.
The problem with this stress management book is that it delves too much on spiritual references. Most of the advice that is given is more anecdotal and spiritual, rather than scientific.
7 Simple Steps to Unclutter Your Life by Donna Smallin. This book explains that the clutter that you see in your surroundings can actually create stress. It also defines clutter as confusing thoughts, ideas, problems and priorities that you are experiencing.
This stress management book is fun and nice to read. However, behind all the light hearted words, there are very good and practical suggestions in de-cluttering your life.
Naked by David Sedaris is another fun filled, light hearted book. Though not considered as a pure stress management book, this book contains hilarious essays and witty humor.
Laughter is the best medicine and a great stress remedy. David Sedaris essays in “Naked” can surely bring the laughter out in readers. Through humor, this book can make you focus on the lighter things in life.
