Brian King and 1 other person liked Linda Black's review of The Art of Taking It Easy: How to Cope with Bears, Traffic, and the Rest of Life's Stressors: "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."
