There is a mutual thread that links all CNAs – stress with regards to taking our corroboration exams! Training to become a CNA is effort sufficient – 6 weeks of training, clinicals, tests and quizzes – it’s a big accomplishment. We all exhale a sigh of relief when it’s over only to realize all too soon that there is a looming and eminent date in our future – the CNA TEST. The weight that was lifted on the last day of class creeps back on pound for pound and then some.

Everyone is going to have a dissimilar outlook when they are preparing for the CNA test. Person A will coordinate their study time, gather study tools, and systematically chip away at the volume of noesis they need to memorize. I’m sure that I don’t have to tell you that these are the people that suffer the least from test stress for the CNA test AND the preform the best when taking the test. Meanwhile, others will study less or cram a few days before. They will most likely struggle on the test and may have to retake a percentage of it. Others think they studied correctly, however, they studied the faulty data or didn’t compensate sufficient attention to the fundamentals and the failed.

The key to taking the CNA test is to have a plan!

Don’t leave your exam success to fate. Prepare your study schedule and stick to it. Tip: Pretend your exam is three days before it’s scheduled – that way the bulk of your work is done and all you will have to do is review. Gather your textbook, class notes, YouTube videos, exercise tests, study guide and flashcards and prepare a system that you may stick to. Start with definitions and med terms and work up to more perplexed information. When you are practicing your attainments grab your spouse, friend, kid or if they aren’t around use a stuffed animal. Create flash cards, print them off and take them where ever you go. You’ll be amazed how much downtime you have for the duration of your day while you’re out and about.

The internet is a great resource for test tips so visit forums and your bestloved nursing internetsite and look around. Search for test tips or ask for guidance. The nursing community is so welcoming that you’ll have responses before you recognise it. Most of them telling you not to stress!

Now this might sound like a broken record to a great deal of but it worth repeating. Get a good night sleep the night before your test. Eat a healthful meal, aka brain food, that you know won’t disturb your system – there is not one thing worse than tossing and turning from a stomach ache. (Keep in mind what stress does to our insides!) Be prepared for your test day with pencils and supplies, your outfit. Have everything cleaned and ready to go, have a light but satisfying breakfast. Arrive early! Tardiness will remunerate your equanimity and focus. Go to the bathroom – nerves make you pee – no distractions! Relax, take your time, and do your best!

Poorly written and even poorly edited…
By S. Madiraju
Literally every sentence of this book is filled with grammatical and spelling errors. It does get quite annoying at times to read through the text.The illustrations and diagrams are of poor quality. I bought this book as the author is quite renowned in the field of stress stesting. I think it would have been a great book if only someone had taken the time to proof read and edit the text before publishing it.

Stress and Health

Paige Anderson — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 12:58:30 +0000

They call it karoshi in Japan: death by overwork. But even in Japan, most people don’t rather die from working too much – they just get sick and suffer. And suffering, year after year, may be a prescription for career disaster…

We get stressed when we work too much or under bad circumstances, and it’s not news to any person that such stress may make us sick. But there’s a wrinkle that flies beneath the radar in the stress and health discussion: Not only may an excessively stressful career make us sick, but once we get sick, our lower energy levels affect the quality and amount of the work we may do, and sooner or later, our impaired performance may in turn destruct our careers.

Excess stress on a each day basis is something that’s unluckily very mutual for a large total of people. And for all too many, it has already resulted in an potpourri of health problems, ranging from the plainly annoying, embarrassing, and somewhat painful, such as cold sores, acne, neck pain, headaches, and hair loss, all the way to obesity, heart attacks, and even death.

Sometimes things may get so bad, that karoshi may seem like a merciful way out. But let’s focus on the kinds of health aftermaths that result from stress that doesn’t rather kill you and on the affect they may have on your career in turn. If the stress is ongoing, and it ordinarily is, you may well end up suffering for years, alive but not so well.

We recognise that when the body experiences stress, it releases adrenalin and cortisol as percentage of our primitive fight-or-flight response. These essential hormones help increase the oxygen level in the blood and boost the sugar in the blood – preparing us to either flee or fight.

That reaction may have been utile in an era where fighting or fleeing would have been considered reasonable options. But if your boss is yelling at you, neither bonking him on the kisser nor running away screaming qualifies as suitable behavior. Instead, there you are, a sitting duck, flooded with stress hormones that have no place to go and serve no aim except wreak mayhem on your well-being.

What havoc? For example, the immune scheme is suppressed or damaged, which compromises your body’s capacity to protest infection. So you’re the firstborn to catch the office cold and the last to recover from it. And then there are a number of chronic health conditions are either caused or made worse by stress, including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, migraine headaches, and heart disease. Some exploration proposes that stress may even cause cancer – or push the body over that critical hurdle where our immune system is just no longer strong sufficient to fight it off.

There are likewise somewhat less apparent conditions, less apparent at least to the outside observer: depression, fibromyalgia, insomnia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and adrenal burnout.

They all have in mutual that they’ll sap your energy and make it very difficult to get much work done. Come performance review, you’ll have a good deal of explaining to do. And if anything, that’ll make your stress-levels even worse.

Can you see where this is heading? Stress may hurt your body, but it will likewise injure your career if you don’t manage to get on top of it. Ratcheting down your stress levels has got to be a top priority, because it may not only cost you your health but your occupation as well. And then, what will you do for health insurance?

Proloftin Stress Release Formula

Dalton Delacruz — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 03:40:03 +0000

With a good deal of guidelines being written on the importance and gains of breastfeeding, more and more mothers are getting conscious of how beneficial it is to nurse their babies. However, it seems that the gains of breastfeeding to a mother isn’t as well publicised, for some mothers still view breastfeeding as a sacrificial exercise closely akin to martyrdom.

Far from it, mothers stand to gain just as much from breastfeeding their babies. Breastfeeding is beneficial to mothers as it reduces their danger elements for formulating sure medical conditions and impairment of normal physiological functions later in life. It is beneficial for helping mothers regain their pre-pregnant figure more speedily – something that is bound to attract the attention of galore post-partum mothers. Breastfeeding also has psychological and financial benefits.

Here are the 17 gains that breastfeeding offers to nursing mothers:

The baby’s suckling action triggers the release of the hormone oxytocin which develops the letdown reflex (a procedure whereby the breast releases it is stored milk to the baby). Oxytocin likewise causes contraction of the uterus which is necessary for the duration of postpartum healing as it reduces the peril of bleeding and promotes the return of the uterus to it is basi shape and size.
Breastfeeding delays the return of menstruation. Mothers who formula feed their babies ordinarily detect a return of their periods within 6-8 weeks postpartum. A breastfeeding mother may suppose to delay the return of her amount of time for months up to a year and beyond. This helps a mother maintain her stores of iron and helps to reduce her peril of manufacturing iron deficient anaemia.
Breastfeeding reduces a mother’s fertility by preventing ovulation. This may aid delay further pregnancies and grant her body to recover before being taxed again with another pregnancy. It is crucial to note, however, that the amount of time of scaled down fertility depends on the mother, her baby and their nursing patterns.
There is proof that breastfeeding may provide a mother shelter versus breast, uterine and ovarian cancers.
A mutual misconception is that breastfeeding increments a mother’s danger of osteoporosis, however, studies have found the discourse to be true. While a mother’s stores of calcium are scaled down for the duration of breastfeeding, it was found that bone density return to normal levels and even increased after weaning, therefore supplying extra shelter versus osteoporosis.
Breastfeeding has been shown to reduce a mother’s risk of devising rheumatoid arthritis.
Some studies also show that breastfeeding helps to reduce a mother’s risk of manufacturing heart disease, heart attacks and stroke.
Breastfeeding likewise reduces the peril of fabricating diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Breastfeeding releases the prolactin – a hormone responsible for milk production. Prolactin also has a calming and sedating effect on a nursing mother. This relaxes the mother, helps her get back to sleep speedily after a night-time feed and may be helpful in combating the baby blues and potential postnatal depression. Studies show that mothers who breastfeed are less likely to suffer from postpartum anxiety and depression.
It has been shown that breastfeeding strengthens the bond among a mother and her baby. This may support original time mothers adjust to the role of motherhood more easily. Studies have likewise shown that mothers with a history of abandonment are less likely to leave their babies if they breastfeed them.
Breastfed babies are less likely to fall ill which offers mothers more outstanding peace of mind. Something ought to be said regarding the gain of not having to deal with the added stress of living with a child with recurrent illness.
Breastfeeding may consume an extra 200-500 calories a day (the equivalent of swimming 30 laps or riding a bicycle up a hill for an hour). This helps a mother return to her pre-pregnant weight more quickly and easily.
During pregnancy, fat is stored around the waist and hip areas to protect the baby and womb. This fat is utilised in the production of breast milk after birth, which helps a mother return to her pre-pregnant size more quickly than a mother who formula feeds her baby.
It has been approximated that breastfeeding may save parents an intermediate of US$400-800 a year since there is no need to buy highpriced infant formulas.
Breastfeeding directly also means there is no need for baby bottles, sterilizers and other imagination instrumentation required with bottle feeding.
Breastfeeding is a lot more convenient, specially for night feeds as Mum does not have to get up to prepare formula.
A nursing mother may likewise rest while she is nursing the baby (utilising the lying down position). She doesn’t have to stay awake to hold the bottle which allows her to get more rest.

The gains of breastfeeding for mothers are a heap of and must not be overlooked. They are also evenly valid elements that mothers will have to take into thoughtfulness when settling whether or not to breastfeed their babies. Even if a lot of mothers might not want to breastfeed their babies for the gains that it offers to the baby, I’m sure knowing a little more when it comes to “what’s in it for me” might modify their perspectives.

By Bob
I have been using this product for about 2 years. I only use it when I need it so I do not take it everyday. The bottle says to take 2 caps a day but I found that 2 caps makes me sleepy so I take 1. I only take this product when I am having stressfull day or when I am going to be doing something (travel, meeting new people etc.)that I would like to be more relaxed for. One cap. just makes me feel calmer and takes the edge off. It is worth the price.

PostTraumatic Stress Disorder Basic Science and Clinical Practice

Evan Mitchell — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 13:14:24 +0000

War and disasters of all kinds, such as the 9/11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina cause mental anguish for their survivors, including what is getting a mutual malady for veterans and natural disaster victims, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. Left untreated, PTSD many times results in drug and alcohol addiction, as victims struggle to cope with and self-medicate mental anguish.For those who have been victims of physical and mental trauma or abuse, as well as those who’ve witnessed trauma, assault or death, the substantial mental anxiety or depression they experience may be transient PTSD if it lasts only for assorted months after the event(s). This is normal grief, and suitable counseling may prevent the onset of PTSD, which occurs after at least three months following trauma exposure. Six months, or even years may pass before PTSD sensations or changes surface. At any given time, the portion of Americans who suffer from PTSD is in regards to four percent.

According to recent determinations from the World Trade Center Health Registry in a published report of the NYC Health Department, one in eight World Trade Center rescue and recovery workers produced the disorder. PTSD is without doubt or question showing up in returning Iraq war veterans, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has without doubt or question acknowledged the link amidst drug and alcohol abuse and PTSD. Although such troubles as substance abuse and anxiety disorders are widespread among veterans of both Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts, soldiers are many times penitent to confess mental health issues. A report by the American Psychological Association, the APA Presidential Task Force on Military Deployment Services for Youth, Families and Service Members, mental health needs for soldiers and their families are straining the current military mental health system.

We may not wholly grasp the affect of Katrina or 9/11 on it is survivors for years to come, nor do we recognise the effects of trauma and chronic anxiety on Iraq and Afghanistan war vets, but 15 percent o 500,000 Vietnam veterans have been diagnosed with PTSD.

Experiencing PTSD

With PTSD, humans often experience flashbacks, nearly reliving a traumatic event. Or people experience sleep disturbance, standard bouts of anger or disability to concentrate. PTSD may result in a dis-association from reality, extreme mental anguish and disability to sustain work or relationships. In an crusade to numb the disabling effects, a new disability, addiction to sedating drugs or alcohol ofttimes evolves.Victims of sexual abuse ofttimes experience chronic PTSD, and at the Hanley Center’s Center for Women’s Recovery [http://www.hanleycenter.org/programs/women.html], we have found that up to 80 percent of female persons who requires medical care recovering from alcohol or drug addiction have experienced abuse, normally sexual. Creating a safe gender-specific treatment surroundings has been the original step in reconnection for many.Victims of Hurricane Katrina are widely reported to suffer from PTSD, galore of whom became despondent or turn to alcohol and drugs. PTSD affects each family of each victim. When PTSD becomes share of an addiction picture, the syndrome will have to be treated along with the disease of addiction.

Treatment for addiction with PTSD: create a safe environment.

In the firstborn stages of indispensable addition treatment, it is of the utmost importance that a safe surroundings of care is established. As with the recent aftermath of a hurricane, without delay re-living the traumatic event(s) may exacerbate the situation. In a holistic treatment program, the Twelve Step system of belief is the foundation on which a multidisciplinary treatment program is built, treating mind, body and spirit.

The incidence of dual diagnosis, such as substance addiction co-occurring with anxiety disorders such as PTSD, depression or other mental health issues, is growing. A treatment program will have to be based on a physical and psychological assessment that takes into account the total person, for long term successful recovery, Treatment therapies for persons who requires medical care with co-occurring disorders like alcoholism and PTSD may include suitable medications in an integrated approach with wellness therapies like yoga, meditation and aquatic exercise, and interactional and expressive therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and Motivational Interviewing (MI). With MI, persons who requires medical care are guided at their own pace to engage in their own recovery process. Art therapies from sculpture to painting and writing may support persons who requires medical care work through and express painful experiences in a healing process. Pet-assisted therapies have been found to help free people who are in need of medical care to connect in an emotional manner to another being, and to express positive feeling of liking and joy.

Addiction is a family disease, and coupled with chronic anxiety disorders, are likely to be disruptive and surely difficult to understand. Often PTSD requires a long course of treatment, as well. The Family Program, which likewise incorporates a co-dependency program, is an instructional experience that helps families of persons who requires medical care in understanding dysfunctional family schemes and helps them to lean how to build healthful family patterns of fundamental interaction and support. Continuing care plans give hope or courage to aid through ongoing Twelve Step program participation, and when appropriate, ongoing outpatient treatment, on occasion in combining with transitional living.

If you are engaged in a struggle with unruly or even embarrassing actions on behalf of your youngster, learning the finer points of conduct modification in children makes sense.

Something that may trip up your efforts, for example, is expecting too much or too little from your conduct modification plans. Unrealistic expected values are a problem because they will prevent you from getting the results you want.

Chances are, as a parent, you have a clear idea of the results you want to see in your home. In fact, depending upon your child’s conduct challenges, you may be downright desperate for positive results.

You are not alone.

Thousands of parents just like you are asking what they may do to fetch peace and order into their homes and support their child to grow up into a responsible adult. Child conduct modification may be a imagination name, but each parent perceives the conception perfectly.

* Aligning conduct expected values with reality is key.

What happens when you try to guide your child into conduct changes but set the bar too low? Let’s face it; alter is difficult. None of us is more than willing to go through the pain of change without understanding we are working towards something better.

If you ask your child to stop back talking, for example, but let slide eight out of ten sequences of that behavior, your child knows instinctively this is not a very important issue to you. Your actions do not line up with your words.

Nothing will make your child ignore you faster.

What with regards to when you demand too much from your child? Is that even possible?

Sure, it’s possible. Using the same example of back talking, imagine informing your child that to repair this problem, she will have to ask for permission to speak each and each time she has something to say.

Sound ridiculous? Sure. But that’s the problem with setting too high of expected values for conduct modification. When your child realizes it’s not reasonable or possibly even possible to comply with your stated expectations, she will either cooperate out of fear of aftermaths (and tune you out as a valued authority in her life) or merely rebel.

Either way means you will have new difficulties to deal with.

The sensible answer to this dilemma is lining up your conduct expected values with reality. A child who is back talking needs to know in no uncertain terms that such conduct is unacceptable. The boundaries and aftermaths of that conduct need to be without doubt or question explained to him and suitable to the situation.

When it comes to the topic of back talking, the underlying issue is respect and it may be exceedingly utile to consider how respect is used or mistreated allround your entire home life. For example, it’s tough to suppose a teen to be respectful if they are consuming a every day diet of disrespectful TV programs. Connect the dots in your own home to see where your child’s conduct challenges might be coming from.

After your child’s inevitable testing of these new boundaries, your job, mom or dad, is to enforce, with resolute determination and matter-of-factly, the aftermaths you explained upfront. To be an understanding, even sympathetic, but unmovable wall.

Behavior modification in children is a straightforward routine with a large total of variables added in. No one knows or loves your child the way you do which puts you in the best position to be of support in guiding this young life.

Arm yourself with time-tested resources and conceptions and dive into this most important life arena. Nothing is more important than the raising of the next generation and you, mom or dad, have a front row seat.

Excellent resource for educators and parents
By Silke Wittig
“Kids and Dogs: A Professional’s Guide to Helping Families” by Colleen Pelar is a wonderful complement to her first book “Living with Kids and Dogs…Without Losing your Mind”.

The professional guide is geared towards educators and dog trainers to help them in their dialogue with “parents of children and dogs”, and offers sound advice on how to create a happy, respectful and safe relationship between all family members – furry and human.

Canine body language (the excellent “good moment, bad moment” photos really stand out in this book), human-dog interactions (especially the difference between tolerance and enjoyment), basic household rules and management are addressed. A list of further resources as well as an outline for a “safety around dogs” presentation to 3-6 year old children is also included.

The professional guide is written in an easy-to-understand and straightforward manner, with great photos to supplement the points that Colleen Pelar is making. The book is a superb tool to teach parents to take on a proactive role in child-dog interactions, which should in return result in less dog bites.

In my opinion, this book is a must-have for any professional working with families with children and dogs. Parents will also greatly benefit from this book [...]

Managing Stress Principles and Strategies for Health and

Willie Steele — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 11:15:33 +0000

Self management is an underlying discipline that applies the proficiencies of the managerial role (planning, organizing, executing, measuring, evaluating, and adjusting) to personal activities. Hence, the personal competencies of anticipation, deliberation, and stress tolerance improve. As a consequence, an individual’s capacity to carry out personal, professional and enterpriship (entrepreneurship, leadership, and management) activenesses strengthens. Thus, an person becomes a role model for an effective and effective work style to others.

The scope of the self management discipline includes prioritization, time management, space management, resource management, follow-through, and stress management. It also means living by a set of personal values and guiding principles.

Prioritization:

Prioritization is when it comes to managing activenesses based upon value. The simplest method is to utilise the Pareto principle (eighty percent of gain comes from twenty percent of the effort). However, the principle ought to be employed twice so as to address the top four percent of the actions initial that account for approximately 64 percent of the benefit.

The method is employed by creating a list of activenesses and then assigning priorities as A, B, and C items – A having the most eminent priority, B having medium priority, and C having the lowest priority based upon contribution to value. The A items will have to account for no more than twenty percent of the entire list, and the C items must account for no less than ten. The principle will have to then be used again to the A items as AA, AB, and AC. The AA items account for in regards to four percent of the entire list.

The list will have to be visible, reviewed, and altered on a regular basis. Attention ought to be given to settling AA items, and the eliminating of as a great deal of C items as possible.

New items will be added to the list from time to time, and the list ought to be recreated from scratch as necessary. Old C items commonly drop off in this process.

Time management:

Time management is an extension of the prioritization technique, but relates to the scheduling of activities. Time frames may differ depending upon the types of activenesses and value, and may range from minutes to years. Time management begins with how an person lays out their own schedule, and how they interact with others.

The key is to determine the time frame for each activity, and layout schedules in blocks of time with slots. The activenesses ought to be listed and prioritized, and then assigned to the slots. Schedule contingency must be permitted for by assigning up to 85 percent of the available slots. That way, if there are overruns, or if unanticipated events occur, there is a heap of room within the schedule to accommodate extra activities. Priorities will have to be reviewed regularly.

An person will have to be careful in regards to communication with others with a dissimilar time perception. For example, strategic planners think long-term, but production staff tend to think short-term. An info engineering scheme may take five years to implement, but the response times of resulting schemes may be have to take place within seconds, or fractions of seconds for routine control systems.

Space management:

Space management is when it comes to arranging physical layouts ranging from desktops to entire communities. It begins with how an person lays out their own workspace, and how they interact with others. Space management is based upon communications needs and workflows amidst affiliated parties.

The further parties are located from each other, the less they are motivated to communicate, exceptionally if they are on dissimilar time zones. Crises are the exception, and in truth strength parties to communicate. Effective globalization requires establishing strong communications capablenesses among the respective parties around the world.

In urban areas, it is normally necessary to densely pack people, equipment, and inventory into little facilities. Some people are troubled by the close proximity of persons and objects around them, and the potential for background noise, whereas others are not. Music may be used to reduce beguilements from background noise, and develop ambiance.

An person ought to be careful when it comes to communication with others with a dissimilar space perception. For example, strategic planners think globally, but others may think locally. An electronic product design may require huge drawings that represent elements that are fractions of millimeters apart.

The Chinese exercise of feng shui is getting more popular in the West. Definitions vary, but in usual the exercise relates to organizing environments and the objects within them, such as facilities and equipment, to publicize balance, happiness, harmony, health, and prosperity.

Resource management:

Resource management is when it comes to consuming materials, supplies, and services efficaciously and efficiently. It begins with how an person consumes resources, and how they influence others to do so.

Resource management is regarding setting budgets for resource consumption, and then monitoring the earned value – the budgeted cost of the resource consumed to date. Negative variances result from an insufficient budget or waste; positive variances result from an overly generous budget or conservation.

If time is the resource, then waste results from inefficiency, and conservation results from efficiency. Both productivity and efficacy determine if results are delivered in front or behind schedule. Productivity is the rate at which units are produced within a time period; efficacy is the symmetry of the work performed to the crusade applied, and is the divergence amid the budgeted cost of work performed and the actual cost. Parkinson’s law states that work elaborates to absorb the available time.

Follow-through:

Follow-through is with regards to carrying an action through to it is natural completion. It is posing no difficulty to commence an action than it is to finish it successfully. Natural completion includes determining the consequence of an event or action once it has occurred by getting feedback on results. It includes both quantitative and qualitative information.

How an person asks for feedback on their own performance determines what they suppose from others. Follow-through starts with an person assessing their own performance, and then asking for feedback from others. Perceptions when it comes to an individual’s own performance will differ from that of others. Ultimately, it’s the feedback from others that matters.

Follow-through is achieved by asking questions of constituencies, either directly or indirectly through surveys, in addition to whatsoever quantitative data is available in regards to actual behavior.

Follow-through is also necessary to prospecting activities. If venture is expended to identifying those humans with whom to build relationships, then it is necessary to follow-through to find what mutual probabilities and gains in truth exist. Follow-through is exceedingly essential when proposals are issued. If a salesperson doesn’t follow-through on a proposal, may a potential client or client suppose them to follow-through on the account itself? Prospective clients and clients are notorious for not following-through to deliver results to not successful bidders. Therefore, bidders will have to always follow-through to find out status, criteria, and reasons for both acceptance and rejection, so that they may improve in the future.

Stress management:

Stress is humane body’s response to demands made on it. It is the response to pressures from responsibility, to both real and imaginative threats from people, and to fear of potential negative events and activities. Stress arises when an person moves beyond their ease zone – their boundary for peril tolerance, peculiarly when situations appear out of control.

Positive stress has a extenuating effect on activity; negative stress has a debilitating effect. Negative stress ought to be get over other than as supposed or expected sicknesses may develop. Individuals who are self-motivated challenge the debilitating effects of stress by moving to action.

Stress reduction proficiencies include:

Exercising and relaxing
Eating a balanced diet
Getting a good night’s sleep
Avoiding alcohol and drugs
Involving a support system, such as family or teammates

By applying the proficiencies of planning, organizing, executing, measuring, evaluating, and adjusting, an person translates mindset into action and becomes self-motivated.

Personal values and guiding principles:

Personal values and guiding principles form a scheme of beliefs that set expected values for person conduct and decision making that may be employed to personal, professional, and enterpriship activities.

An individual’s attention self management is a determinant of their suitability for advancement. If an person can’t manage their own affairs well, then how may they be expected to manage an individual else’s?

Entrepreneurs, modus vivendi enterprise owners, executives, and managing directors must remainder both long-term and short-term mindset with action to make sure that essential items get done on a timely basis, without losing focus on the future.

Self management is an enterpriship (entrepreneurship, leadership, and management) competency.

Excellent – Do No Miss This!!!!
By Paul B. Schlosberg
Managing Stress is one of the best textbooks I have seen and should be required reading at every school. The reason I enjoy the book so much is because it presents a whole new way of seeing stress – stress reframed from a positive, enlightened perspective. The book is such a comprehensive volume of information, including just enough of all the most important topics related not only to stress, but to mind-body health in general, as much as any author can encapsulate in such a huge, broad, and growing field.

Managing Stress is so good because Seaward helps readers and students recognize an important need in our culture for embracing a broader perspective of wellness, one that encompasses and touches every nuance of life including business, education, the arts, government, and so on.

This book is both easy to read and an excelent resource.
By A
I have been teaching stress management at the undergraduate level for about three years now and find this book to be an excelent resource for undergraduates. It is very easy to read and gives a great deal of information about the practicle application of stress management techniques. Those who plan on teaching a course in stress management would be well advised to have a good deal of supplementary material on hand as this book is directed toward the intro student and is not informative enough to develop lectures from. This is one textbook that students consistantly give high ratings.

Very easy to read and applicable techniques
By Jay M. Greenfeld
Greenberg’s latest edition of Comprehensive Stress Management is very easy to follow. With short chapters and a friendly tone, the content is very applicable for college students. I have been using this text in my stress management courses and the students have found it to be quite helpful. The lab exercises at the end of each chapter help the students connect the content to their own lives as they navigate through stress in college. Additionally, providing an extensive and lucid reference list at the end of each chapter is an excellent resource for all students. Although some of my students have found a few of the chapters self-explanatory, Greenberg does an excellent job of encompassing all aspects of understanding stress management.

Talk about sex and stress
By notAyesperson
Almost every example and story Mr. Greenberg relates in this book has some sexual/romantic/dating overtone to it. I found this quite funny actually.
As it’s title suggests, it’s a read about how to reduce stress and learn to relax and smell the roses. There are chapters on meditation to spirituality to biofeedback and of course different forms of stress. He begins most chapters with experiences that he’s either had or know of someone who has experienced it.
