Review by Library Journal Review

This series presents easy, practical ways for any reader (young adults and beyond) to take small steps to conquer stress demons such as low self-esteem and lack of confidence. The books include self-assessment quizzes and scenarios for enacting change. In the title on managing stress at work, Cooper (organized psychology & health, Lancaster Univ.; Stress: A Brief History) and psychologist Kahn help readers cope with office politics, workplace discrimination, and everyday stressors such as computer malfunctions. The authors also delve into the areas of biofeedback and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Similarly, in the other two books, health project cocoordinator Green lays out tips for boosting self-esteem and confidence, explaining how they can be influenced by both external events and psychological factors. The material in both of Green's books overlap and contain advice on the tangible (eating fewer refined foods, standing up straight) as well as the cerebral (identifying one's strengths and using the power of self-talk). VERDICT Though little new information is provided, the material on offer here is simplified and will be accessible to early adult and ESL readers. (c) Copyright 2013.
