Stress Buster; How to stop stress from killing you. By Geoff Thompson

In 2001 I read an interview with martial artist, self-defence expert, filmmaker and author Geoff Thompson in the British martial arts magazine `Martial Arts Illustrated'. During the interview he spoke about his at that time newest book `Small wars, How to live a stress-free life' which was about dealing with stress. The book looked very interesting and I ordered it.

This book is like the title implies about stress and about how to control it, rather than having our lives controlled by the emotions resulting from stress.

Geoff starts off with explaining what stress is. The introduction goes into the fight or flight response where after Geoff explains what we are up against and gives a better understanding of ourselves. With this understanding of ourselves Geoff talks about road rage and displacement and how this isn't personal. I guess everybody is familiar with the analogy of John getting a problem with his boss at work, he comes home and starts taking it out at his wife, then the wife gets stressed and takes it out on the kid and the kid kicks the cat.

Geoff goes on that stress can be useful as well, it's a form of energy after all. Just it's a bit like Goldilocks and the three bears were too little is no good, too much will crush you so it's a matter of finding balance.

Within the pages of 14 easy to read chapters the book gives a lot of information about understanding stress, the causes, the symptoms and how to cope with it.

Throughout the pages there are also nice drawn cartoons, explaining a point made in the chapter they appear in.

After the release of the Elephant and the twig, this book was republished in hardback format under the title: `the book for the seriously stressed' and later by Summerdale in softcover `Stress buster'.

As in this modern day society everybody is prone to stress this book is like Aladdin's cave with a treasure of information about how to deal with it and eventually put the energy to better use.
