In this important book, the reader is invited to recognise the signs of chronic stress and to take the vital small steps to address its symptoms.

This unique book highlights the miracle of tiny interventions in a day packed with pressures and deadlines. It does not promise to cure chronic stress but it does offer very practical and easy-to-follow steps that can be readily incorporated into even the most hectic lifestyle. The second book in the How to Be Our Best Self series, it can be dipped into a page or chapter at a time. It can be kept on a car seat or on a desk as a constant reminder that a life of striving and trying to keep up can be balanced with a life of thriving and moments of reprieve.
