This extremely helpful, easy-to-read book provides a clear

Abramowitz is an internationally respected researcher and clinician
who understands real people and how to help them. If I were asked
to recommend one book for dealing with stress in relationships, at
work, or in times of crisis, this would be it.--Donald H. Baucom,
PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of North
Carolina
Dr. Abramowitz will help you reduce stress of all kinds--with
benefits for your mind, body, and relationships. The
recommendations in this clear, powerful guide can help you get more
out of life.--Robert L. Leahy, PhD, author of The Worry Cure-Though
I approached the book thinking that it couldn't be as useful as
in-person therapy, I found Abramowitz's text to be pleasantly
surprising: it truly helped....The worksheets in part II were truly
life-changing. With Abramowitz's detailed descriptions and
questionnaires, I was able to identify thinking patterns and
behaviors that I was so accustomed to, I didn't realize they were
creating stress in my life. I found myself able to apply new
techniques in a variety of situations....I also found myself better
able to move through day-to-day stressors by using time-management
techniquesas well as through much bigger stressors, by using the
techniques for changing thinking patters and relaxing the body and
mind.--PsychCentral, 7/12/2013ƒƒIf I were going to recommend a
self-help book for managing stress to a friend or client, this
would be the one....[Abramowitz] brings his considerable expertise
to bear in helping readers understand, control, and cope with
stress in its many manifestations....In addition to covering stress
and anxiety A-Z, Abramowitz writes clearly, with humor, and in an
engaging style that should appeal to most readers. The workbook is
ideal for people wanting to learn more about the stress in their
lives and how to deal with it but additionally, as a supplement to
working with a mental health professional....Unlike many self-help
tomes on the market, there is nothing in this workbook that
deviates from research supported practices or slips into
unchartered territory. Accordingly, this is a valuable resource for
individuals concerned about personal stress and what they should do
to successfully change their lives.--Metrapsychology Online
Reviews, 7/12/2013ƒƒProvides a good overview of stress and related
CBT techniques. It offers a combination of both information and
practical exercises/techniques to try. Throughout the book, the
author normalizes stress….This book could be recommended to clients
with a range of difficulties, for use alone or used alongside CBT
sessions….It may also be a useful resource for psychological
wellbeing practitioners.--Journal of Behavioral and Cognitive
