This is one of those books that may never be checked out — not that students don’t need it, but because they may be embarrassed to check it out.  Enslow did a decent job covering the topics of what stresses young people out, what happens to your body if you don’t cope well with stress,and offered tips for managing stress.  The author also pointed out that some stress is good, as it challenges us and pushes us to perform at our optimum level. Unhealthy coping skills vs healthy coping skills are compared.  Managing stress through regular exercise, good nutrition, and proper sleep are covered, along with the scientific reasons why proper care of your body battles stress (lowering cholesterol, the release of endorphins which acts as a natural anti-depressant, the slowing down of digestion, and the release of adrenaline).  Presented in this way, with medical explanations sounds less preachy than a parent telling their child to eat well, get exercise, and get plenty of sleep. Stretching techniques, food suggestions, and time management tips leave the reader with sound advice to take away with them.
