Customer Reviews

like the book, love the author!

I just received the book and haven't had a chance to really give it a great review. But I can say, I have listened to Dr. Lawless many times on Dr. Phil and love what he says and knows about anxiety etc.....

How to find help for depressive people

This book has helped me in a christian way. The only person behaviors that I have control of is my own. A saying I learned in my psychology classes in college and it is so true. I had to let go of past misdeeds and I feel so much better!

The Stress Answer

It's an excellent book. It is clear and understandable for the average person and gives everyone hope and the skills to help themselves.

No Magic Pill, But A Useful Guide for Stress Relief

I am not a medical doctor, but I've studied medical and scientific findings into the brain's plasticity, and The Stress Answer relates coping strategies based on the latest discoveries into the workings of what's often called "three pounds of infinity." Jeffrey Satinover, Norman Doidge, V. S. Ramachandran, et. al., corroborate what Dr. Lawlis integrates in his chapters on storms of various stresses. He provides 45 days of useful exercises to coping with--and reducing stress. You do not have to follow his schedule to the letter. But I recommend doing one or two exercises daily until you have finished all of them. If you are serious about improving the quality of your life, then you should start at day one and go through the exercises again. This kind of repetition will not be boring; in fact, the more you repeat them, the less anxiety you will feel. I know. I did them. Instead of wasting 60 minutes of your life feeling anxious and depressed, invest that 60 minutes into yourself. Isn't it logical to invest your energy into feeling better instead of feeling blue? Excuse me while I rehearse positive imagery for my next book review.
