How to Hang Loose in an Uptight World gives practical suggestions for reducing stress no matter how busy your lifestyle or how vast your obligations.
In addition to exploring the causes of stress and how stress works on the body and mind, there's an entire chapter devoted to stress-reduction techniques that require no time investment. Subsequent chapters provide relaxation techniques for one to five minutes and fifteen minutes to an hour, and demonstrate the need for at least a single day of rest. Perhaps you are feeling completely overwhelmed, or you simply feel you have more obligations than hours in the day to meet them.
Maybe you sometimes find yourself angry when you are delayed for reasons beyond your control, or you are impatient with friends and family. Stress manifests in many ways, but Elizabeth Baker's simple, practical advice will help you identify the causes of stress and put you on the path to a longer and healthier life.
