By using the practices described within, you can learn to manage chronic pain resulting from illness and/or stress-related disorders…discover the roles that anger and tension play in heart disease…reduce anxiety and feelings of panic…improve overall quality of life and relationships through mindfulness meditation and mindful yoga. More timely than ever before, Full Catastrophe Living is a book for the young and the old, the well, the ill, and anyone trying to live a healthier and saner life in today’s world.

I am soo glad a friend of mine recommended this book. I'm a bit tentative to pick up anything that might be considered self-helpy and this is not your typcial "how to feel better" book. It's easy to read, very engaging and most of all extremely helpful. It's a holistic approach to handling every day stress as well as life changing events. Even if you don't want to "do" the program, it's useful to just get some pointers. It felt good to know that I don't have to feel the way I'm feeling and can change.
