“My copy of this book has passages underlined in every chapter. Dr. Sprouse offers new information about the origin of stress and then he tackles it head on with step-by-step instructions to reduce it. The book has real-world examples, questions and answers, and tools we can use to deal with worry, guilt, regret, stress, overwhelm and boredom. It's easy to read and I found it very helpful.
