Book Reviews of The Relaxation and Stress Reduction Workbook (New Harbinger Self-Help Workbook)
Book Review: A Nice Collection of Techniques
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this book, not realizing that it was the same book (just a newer version) that a therapist had once given me for a weekend. It's a nice collection of stress and anxiety management techniques. I particularly like how the book emphasizes the fact that you should only do what works best for you and recommends you pick and choose those elements throughout the book, rather than necessarily reading the whole thing.
The first two chapters of the book are necessary for understanding basic stressors and their effects on your life. I thought the book did a nice job of summarizing recent understanding concerning stress and anxiety, as well as the importance of relaxation on physical and emotional health. By the end of the first two chapters, depending on how you've answered some of the questions in them, you are directed to specific chapters throughout the book that are most likely to benefit you.
I haven't had enough time to sit down and try many of the techniques within, but it is clear that the book gives a whole range of relaxation styles and worksheets to help one accomplish the techniques. About the only thing I wish was different in the book is some of the recommended further reading lists. Given today's world of new media/Internet resources, more of the further reading materials should be available online, at least in some fashion. Along the same lines, I think the book fails to recommend online support groups, which can be very valuable to users.
All in all, a great book and (from what I remember of the old version) filled with good updates. But, as with many self-help and textbooks, I am somewhat left with the wish that online options were at least mentioned/mentioned more.
