Comments from my wonderful readers:


"Stress can kill you. But what can you do about it? How do learn to quell the inner chatter or banish a sense of anxiety about the future? How do you stop yourself imagining the very worst?
You start by reading Leslie Torburn's book: Stop the Stress Habit: Change Your Perceptions and Improve Your Health. Beautifully clear and concise, this easy-to-read book is filled with remarkable, real life stories of how stress has impacted people and how they've worked to overcome it.
Torburn brings her more than twenty years as a physical therapist to bear on offering practices to reduce stress. From simple tips on clearing up clutter, to profound work on grief, this book is a good as a deep body massage for helping you to unwind. A secret delight of mine? Leslie recommitted to her book project after taking a Write the Damn Book 30-Day challenge." -- Mary Reynolds Thompson www.writethedamnbook.com

"The book is great for the layperson (that's me)... I don't need to knowmetabolically how the fight 'nflight syndrome worksor how to balance my 7 chakras. These practice exercises are things that anyone can do andfollow and feel better immediately. This is a book that every therapist (physical or mental) should have available to share with clients... well don'tcount on the psychiatrists. They wouldn't make any money on patients who followed your advice and just decided to quit thinking so negatively! I especially love the little [quotes] you chose by famous people under each chapter heading and want to personally thank you formy new list of reading material(your bibliography).I look forward to a second, slower read of the book again. This gem will make a great gift for ... my friends." - E.T.

"I just finished reading your book. I am going to recommend it to all our Family and Friends. So much wisdom in your book. Positive Thinking is so beneficial, asI have experienced. The one thing I truly need to work on is not planning more than I can do each day. I am SO guilty of that. Your book was a good reminder to me to plan less, so I could complete my projects. I even started cleaning out my closets, and it made me feel GOOD!" -- J.T.

"Your book had great tips on reducing stress, all presented in a package which enables the reader to easily pick up on the concept and apply in his/her own situation. The 'real life'examples were especially nice in bringing alive your points!" -- L.S.
