"Your Guide to Health: Stress Management" was a quick e-book I perused from my library that read like an extended pamphlet on recognizing the signs of stress, how it functions in the body, the various ways of managing it (creative therapy, meditation, etc.), among other dimensions. I found it worth the read in terms of being a general reference guide and constructively outlining different facets of what goes into stress and how to best deal with it when it becomes too much to the point where it interferes with daily living. I definitely liked that this noted that stress isn't inherently harmful or something to stifle, but a part of our bodies and reactions to certain stressors. Very helpful sections also on stress with relation specifically to men and women.
