My Review

I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.

Success With Stress is a short but sensible book that explains that stress is actually a necessary function of our bodies but chronic stress is not only unhealthy but it can even lead to death. It can cause a multitude of health problems including high blood pressure, anxiety, ulcers and more.

Jae Ellard gives Five Strategies for Success with Stress. They’re great strategies and anyone who follows them should be able to handle stress in a constructive way. My husband unknowingly follows these strategies and handles everything that’s thrown our way very well. That attitude rubs off on others, too. 

I recommend this book for anyone who is in a stressful job, deals with a lot of stress at home, or who doesn’t handle stress well.
