Stress like this tends to build over time-week after week-and takes a toll on your mental health. But, great news! Learning stress-busting skills doesn amp rsquo t take much time at all. Just 2 minutes a day is probably all it takes. The skills in this book are easy to learn and can be practiced anywhere-on the bus, before bed, or during lunch. Once you see that it helps, you amp rsquo ll adjust and be ready to bust more stress. And then before you realize it-you amp rsquo ve got it!
Written by cognitive-behavioral therapist and stress-busting expert, Michael A.
