What to expect

Stress is a nasty infectious rash, but it's how we deal with it that counts. This books gives you forty ways to manage it and stop it spreading.

You'll learn how smashing plates works wonders, that watching lambs (not eating them) can help, and that you should always, always listen to someone called Gina.

It's for anyone who has woken up at four o'clock in the morning dreading the day ahead. It's for anyone who feels like the world is piling up on them with family arguments, an unmanageable workload, money worries and the dog doing lethal farts in the kitchen again.

If it feels as though stress is taking over your life, it's time to smash it.

Critics Review

How to Smash Stress will be your go-to guide on the days when it all feels 'a bit too much'. It won't ask you to delve deep into family trauma and the cycle of your stress, it will instead give you actionable things to try right now (with lovely real life examples!). A perfect antidote to our crazy busy lives
