Description

No, it is not all in your head: life is stressful and some lives more so than others. Yet people react to the same situations differently and recognising the difference between what we can control and what we can't is crucial for stress management-and it is an awakening in and of itself. This practical book is designed to bring the benefits of mindfulness meditation practice to stress reduction. Unlike other stress-reduction books, BUDDHA'S BOOK OF STRESS REDUCTION, also, helps you develop the positive values of a calm and constructive attitude. It takes you from stress-where many of us find ourselves-to well-being.

Winner of BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR from COVR (The Coalition of Visionary Resources)

"Emet's book serves also as a fine introduction to the Buddha's teachings, as well as to their application to the art of sleeping well. Readers may come to it attracted by its primary purpose. If they read attentively and follow the program of exercises with due patience, they will come away not only with changed sleeping habits, but changed lives."
