Stress is a pervasive element in all of our lives. This month we discussed the book “Less Stress Life-How I went from Crazed to Calm and You Can Too” by Jamie Sussel Turner. This book offers some great tips for managing stress and offers a point of view on places where stress is present in less obvious ways like “circumstantial friendships”. Lynn and I discuss some of the key concepts we enjoyed in the book, how to be a “stress detective”, or a “good enoughist” and asking yourself the question “what would it take to feel less stress today” when you feel stress coming over you. This is a resource you can keep by the bed or the desk and can be a resource whenever you need perspective!
