Consumer Critique: From Stressed to Centered

Dana Gionta, Ph.D. and Dan Guerra, Psy.D., experts in clinical psychology and behavioral change, have written a well-rounded book on stress relief and self-care. 

 

From Stressed to Centered is a one of a kind book because of its comprehensive approach - it's not just about mental health or our physical environment, but incorporates advice in all areas of life. From Stressed to Centered teaches you how to manage your stress through simple, actionable, portable techniques in only a few moments - anywhere, any time. The book also provides you with proven strategies to help you create your own powerful self-care toolkit to recognize and avoid burnout and stay on a low-stress path. 

 

I found a lot to like about this book. It makes the case for a lot of the different ways that stress can affect us; besides just looking at coping mechanisms, it provides practical ways to make small changes to our environment that have a major effect on our stress levels.
