By Stephen Goodman I found the best time to read this book was whilst on holiday (vacation) and as far away as my normal stress levels as possible. My wife, son and I took an RV to West Virginia and did a little white water rafting, walking and cooking on camp fires. We actually read the book together and I emphasise, not in any particular order. I would read the titles from the table of contents and someone would pick one. The most enjoyable part was taking the many tests together, as a family. Strangely enough, we did not necessarily complete all the tests or even analyse all the results, the biggest benefit was how it got us talking to each other. Often the test was forgotten until a long time later, when we would then go back and finish it. It almost seemed like it was easier to understand the results after following the diverse directions our conversation tooks us.I spent one evening talking to my son (14) over a blazing and eventually dying campfire for several hours. I know the book inspired us to do this, or at least put us in the right frame of mind. After I had returned from this most relaxing of holidays, I realised that the best form of stress relief was what I had just experienced. Sharing, listening and talking to the family and getting to know them even better. Also reaffirming a long held belief that they are the most important things in life, not my job or house or the other trappings of our materialistic society. I am a great fan of George Manning's, I loved his book 'Building Community, the human side of work'. It defines so clearly the things I really hold to be true and essential for a GREAT working existence. This book(Stress.....) really helped me understand more about the topic and even more importantly, how to manage it. I still haven't read the whole book, but I am looking forward to our next trip together, so we can tackle some more of its' contents, and see where it takes us this time.

A pragmatic approach to solving a universal challenge By Dr. John Mccollister In the academic arena, some books offer sound intellectual insights; a few present a nuts and bolts approach to a problem. Dr. George Manning's newest book on stress is one of the rare volumes that offers both.A seasoned and respected psychologist, George Manning has the credentials that demand respect. He also has a way of relating sophisticated truths to the real world of the workplace.I highly recommend this book for company executives, for teachers, for clergypeople and for anyone else who must work with people who are in the state of "becoming."John McCollister, Ph.D.
