Good sense from a sensible author October 12, 2008 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
If you live around New York City, you know Debbie Mandel, and you know she's a straight talker who gives good advice to people on issues that matter. Here she takes a look at our love/hate relationship with stress, and speaks with humor and warmth to help her sisters get to the other side of chaos. Her advice is sound (although I found the references to some medical issues inaccurate, such as carbohydrates being a source of tryptophan--strictly speaking that's not so, but she is correct in saying that you need carbs in order for the protein to get into your brain). I think women (and men) could benefit from reading this insightful and clear book. The material meshes well with my own work: The Secrets of Happily Married Women: How to Get More Out of Your Relationship by Doing Less
Addicted to Stress Mom Central Review September 16, 2008 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
If there's one thing that women everywhere know about, it's stress. Stress about kids, relationships, work, dinner, laundry...the list goes on and on. In fact, one might say women are "addicted to stress." Which is exactly the idea behind Debbie Mandel's ingenious new book. In it, she likens a woman's tireless work to identity theft and points out the irony of calling a never-ending to-do list that we use to keep ourselves occupied every moment of every day "progress." But there's good news - we're only 7 simple steps away from changing our lives. Mandel helps women understand that stress addiction is a real problem, recognize the signs, and take action to improve our health and better our lives. And she's got her work cut out for her; after all, one of the major problems with stress addiction is that women today feel they need to keep busy in order to thrive. How often do you find yourself with free time, only to wonder what work or chores you could be getting done instead? Sure, we know we're busy, but we relish the purpose and sense of accomplishment, right? It turns out that stress may be affecting our lives in more ways than we realize, damaging our relationships, our family life, and even our health. Mandel's book is as interactive as it is informative, and it's absolutely a must read for anyone who experiences even a little stress in her daily life (which, let's face it, is pretty much everyone). With anecdotes from women you can relate to, questions and activities to really get you thinking about your own life, and advice to change everything from your diet and your house to your routine and your mindset, this book has the potential to really make a difference in your life. So enough with the excuses - finding the time to read this book will mean finding the time to rediscover yourself.
