Just reading the title of this book gives me relief. I, for one, am so grateful to Drs. Stephanie McClellan and Beth Hamilton — as well as Diane Reverand — for studying and defining the ways women stress, and its effects on our health and well-being.

I decided to add this to my collection after seeing Juju Chang’s interview with the authors on Good Morning America and visiting their So Stressed website.

In summary, these wonderful women came up with “stresser” types and, after reading mine, I have to admit I cried a little. It felt like a deep hug from someone who cares.

Instead of typical labels women hear like: hysterical, bitchy, passive, neurotic, they feature comprehensive explanations of how each type processes stress; list the health issues each seems to face; and — most importantly — provide successful ways to manage and relieve their stress.

Now breathe…and go get a copy…I am!
