Stress is a nasty infectious rash, but it's how we deal with it that counts. This book gives you forty ways to manage it and stop it spreading.

You'll learn how smashing plates works wonders, that watching lambs (not eating them) can help, and that you should always, always listen to someone called Gina.

It's for anyone who has woken up at four o'clock in the morning dreading the day ahead. It's for anyone who feels like the world is piling up on them with family arguments, an unmanageable workload, money worries and the dog doing lethal farts in the kitchen again.

If it feels as though stress is taking over your life, it's time to smash it.
