ABOUT THE BOOK:

Everyone feels stressed out at some point in their lives. Many have trouble getting their stress under control and want help. This book, combining inspirational Chicken Soup for the Soul stories written just for this book and accessible leading-edge medical advice from expert clinical psychologist and Harvard Medical School instructor Dr. Jeffrey Brown, will encourage, support, and help stressed out readers.

MY THOUGHTS:

As a mom of three kids, a wife, a blogger and everything else I have to deal with daily, stress is something that is inevitable.  I am constantly looking for ways to deal with stress.  The new Chicken Soup for the Soul book “Say Goodbye to Stress” is a classic Chicken Soup book in terms of real life inspirational stories but it is smaller and includes actual medical advice for a healthier you. The advice is from Dr. Jeff Brown of Harvard Medical School.  I found that reading the stories made me feel that I am not alone and the advice was perfect.  Like I said too this book is smaller which makes it perfect to carry around with you for when you have time for a quick story.  It would also be a perfect gift for someone struggling with something, dealing with a change, or really anyone since we all deal with stress at one point or another.
