Practical Tools for Managing Stress: A Common-Sense Approach

Great explanation of stress... as well as some tools to address it. This book was useful and helpful.

A great "little" book on how to tackle stress. Many of the insights it gives seem straightforward and obvious - and yet they are so easily overlooked and "forgotten" in daily life (and especially in stressful situations). But it is also that all these insights are collected here and that the combination of them - together with some useful exercises - provides a great toolbox to become aware of stress, its effects, one's own stress patterns and how to break the often vicious cycles involved, that makes this book a really useful companion. The language is no-nonsense and free of (spiritual or psychological) mumbo jumbo and pseudo explanations, but instead the authors rely a lot on real life (at least I hope) examples and patient cases that most of us probably can relate to more easily and actually help us to see parallels in our own lives.

great book.I like Gallweys wider perspective a life philosophy. in books are stories, practical tools, Q&A.

great book and arrived in perfect condition, that book was mainly for just a class textbook but turned out to be one I'll be using and referring to later on in my studies and practices after graduate level

A common sense way to think about life and to deal with life'
s stresses and move on.

That was a pretty interesting reading! The principles and methods of the Inner Game approach are described in great detail and with impressive real practice cases. I took many useful ideas and tools from the book. And for minus 1 star I want to say that I don't like the idea of division myself into self1 (mostly negative one) and self2 (positive one, wich the inner game practices are intented to activate). I understand how it could be developed that way, but I dont like the description. Maybe in other words it would be more holistic description and don't tend to inner tension. This is my subjective opinion.
