The De-Stress Effect

‘My kind of read. I defy anyone to read this book and not relate it to their own life, see where there is room for improvement and, more importantly, use it to help alleviate that dreaded “stress” that enters all our lives! I love anything that does no harm, is noninvasive and can only do “good”, and this book is that. Great advice, tips and help on how to really de-stress, and keep healthy and balanced in life. More importantly, it just makes sense. Good sense. I’m all for it!’ — Emma Forbes, TV and radio presenter
