[Ashok Krishna · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nice little booklet enumerating a bunch of ideas to de-stress yourself. Some of those ideas are practical and usable, while some of them are fanciful. It's a book that you don't read in a single sitting and keep aside. It's a book that you run through once, keep handy and come back to pick a point and ruminate upon. Good one!
