The Art of Taking It Easy by Brian    King
"Absolutely amazing book and highly recommend everyone to read. So much great advice given in a humerous way, its like sitting with a friend chatting about life and stress and sharing instead of just a one way conversation of what you should do."

“The simplest description I have ever come across is that stress is our brain’s reaction to a perception of threat.”
Brian King, The Art of Taking It Easy: How to Cope with Bears, Traffic, and the Rest of Life's Stressors

“The traffic was real, but it was your own beliefs, values, and expectations that made the situation into one that you found stressful.”
Brian King, The Art of Taking It Easy: How to Cope with Bears, Traffic, and the Rest of Life's Stressors

“Worrying is nothing more than internally generated stress—stress we impose on ourselves thanks to some particularly troublesome thoughts.”
Brian King, The Art of Taking It Easy: How to Cope with Bears, Traffic, and the Rest of Life's Stressors
