Helphul and Necessary Guide
An excellent tome... who doesn't have stress everyday... this is an insightful, yet humourous look, very helpful and necessary. Great fun too, with Mr. Roberts emerging as an expert in this field... why can't someone like this be a TV host... he'd be great! A must have indeed!!!

A Must Read!!
Whether little day-to-day stresses or just occasional occurrences, Practice Safe Stress is a must read. Not only is this book practical but it is fun to read. The exercises recommended by Mr. Roberts for handling stress really work. After hearing him speak and had to get his book! I highly recommend this book for your home reference library. This is a small price to pay and you will reap great rewards. Who, today, could not use some simple and fun methods to reduce stress.

Practice Safe Stress
What a pleasant surprise. After having read my fair share of "self help" books I thought I knew what to expect. This book was different. The book made it clear that there is no one path to stress reduction that will work for everyone. What I liked the most about the book is that its format allowed me to read it in small doses. This was important because there were so many suggestions and anecdotes that I found relevant for me personally that I would have forgotten if I had read it in one or two sessions. In the same fashion as the book suggests performing daily exercises and techniques I suggest daily reading of small portions.
