Media Reviews
This is an exceptionally well-written text with the kind of scientific backing needed when addressing concepts that can be considered 'soft science' to many. --Dr. Sarah E. Rush, Department of Health Sciences, College of Health and Behavioral Studies, James Madison University I appreciate the scope and focus of Practical Stress Management textbook as it specifically relates to their perspective on the positive potential of stress rather than the usual view of stress as a problem or a threat. By teaching students how to change their perspective and respond to stress creatively and confidently, it empowers them to become smarter, stronger, more committed, and more resilient. --Dr. Jerome E. Kotecki, Professor of Health Science, Department of Nutrition & Health Science, Ball State University
