Some Excellent Stress Management Books

Too much stress has become a problem for many people. Many of these people are trying to check on information on how they can control, reduce or eliminate stress so that life would be easier on them.

Fortunately, a lot of stress management books are being published. These books contain a lot of explanations on why and how stress manifests itself.

An example of a good stress management book is “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.

Another nice stress management book is “7 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.

Lastly, a good book to read is “The Instinct to Heal: Curing Stress, Anxiety and Depression Without Drugs and Without Talk Therapy” by Dr. David Servan-Schreiber. The book introduces the newest most recent techniques for mental health problems and stress such as Eye Movement Desensitization and reprocessing, dawn simulation alarm clocks and pet therapy. Truly, the techniques being discussed here are unusual but effective.

Any of these books are recommended for relieving stress. 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.
