Reader reviews:
- "This is without doubt the most helpful and well written self-help book I have read. ... This book avoids dictating to the reader exactly what to do to achieve ‘rest’ but gives you so many options that you are bound to find something that helps you. For me this book is a ‘must buy’! I will be buying copies as gifts as I feel everyone can find something helpful to their situation in here."
